Twitter: LVE out to break the injury prone image

[Jipper]

LVEs neck, when asked about his career only had a quick reply l

“I must break you”

 

[Rockport]

Injuries are in a players head if he continues to talk about it. From what some have told me, injuries occur more often when a player is cautious or hesitant when playing. This is contrary to the flow of the game, effects timing which sometimes puts a player in a vulnerable position....or it's all B.S., but I swear I've heard this from more than one source.

In any case, LVE would be wise to adopt Dak's strategy concerning injuries. Bury it.

You need to read the article and hear what LVE says about injuries before posting.

Hopefully his new found motivation gear is a permanent gear and not just another case of contract year hype.

Denying the 5th year option was probably a wake up call as well. You hear a guy like OSA and Biadasz already talking about learning about their bodies and avoiding injury and doing things to take care of themselves. Maybe LVE should have taken that kind of initiative his rookie year?

Maybe break wasn't the right word to use....

I cringed at the use of the word "out" too.

If he shakes the injury bug and gets back to playing pro bowl type level ball, I have no problem resigning him to a short term deal. I'm skeptical on how likely that is.

2 things

1. If he has a monster season and stays healthy he’s not signing a short term deal. He will want a top 2-3 LB contract

2. he has a neck injury and plays a position that requires hitting and collision on every play. There is no way he will be worth a top contract

given these 2 there is absolutely no way, no matter how great he plays this year, that I would resign him

absolutely no way

Given those two things I wouldnt resign him either. But if he has a great year and he will sign reasonably for a year or two it would be worth the risk to me. AGAIN..........not likely.

Your barking up the wrong tree buddy.

Don't resign him. Let him sit on someone's training table.

 

[Creeper]

This is something the player has no control over. I am sure Sean Lee didn't want to get injured all the time too.

 

[SlammedZero]

I'll definitely be rooting for him. I know he can play. I've seen it. Also, he is a familiar face around Boise and is a super nice guy to everybody that comes across him, so, hard not to pull for a guy like him. Here's to wishing him the best on beating the injury bug.

In fact, I was referring to his "bad chain of luck".

 

[Captain-Crash]

just pay him the 2nd most money for his position. he will get into the best shape of his life and then care to win.

Read some where he is adding muscle to help protect himself.
