LVE is missing three key ingredients for him to keep his job.
1. Diagnosis. He seems to be a step late to the party or a step early to the fake invite. Either way you are just not in the mix.
2. Stoutness. In the wash and head up against some of the lineman with those long arms he can't stack and shed. It's like he has no power after initial contact.
3. Explosiveness. There is absolutely no violence in this guys overall game. How many times have you guys shouted out at the TV saying, "LVE brought the house on that one!" I daresay possibly never in this season. He has a tentative game. There's no juice in his play.
He a great guy, and a nice young man, but this may be his last season of football. His wheels won't get faster, and unless he get quicker at diagnosing, and more violent at attacking the ball or taking on the point of attack I think he is done.
His comments post Jaylon Smith departure were troubling to me. Why show up your coaches by spouting off. Smith was determined by the coaching staff to be not good enough to stay on the squad. Keep your shut and embrace your new players.
I wish him all the best, but football may not be the best for him now. Especially taking in account his injury history.
