Last year without Sean Lee we were 1-4. This year without Lee we are 3-1. Talk about making an impact as a rookie.
Our 1st round draft pick is a thing of beauty. I can’t believe we are better with a rookie replacing Sean Lee, but that is unquestionably the case. LVE should be Defensive Rookie of the Year.
I tried to tell y’all back in April.
Game saving tackle ! Lee would never have had made that play! I love lee ! But LVE is the truth !
Last time I heard this kind of talk, we ended up giving up on a top-10 to top-5 QB so we could embrace a young QB who is now a bottom-10 to bottom-5 QB.
Not that I think LVE is like Dak, because I've never thought Dak was the man, but LVE is a bonafide stud. I'm just saying, show some respect for the great Sean Lee, LVE is a rookie, he has a ways to go.
That said, I think LVE will actually get significantly better. Once he fully adjusts to the level of competition, he'll beast out just like the other boys from Boise.
Well, he's definitely not a beast anyway... You're correct.Crawford is JAG at best.
The thing about LVE was, he was young and came from nowhere. Gained 70 pounds in college over 3 years, then went and blew the Combine out of the water against a bunch of highly touted D1 players, former 4-5 star recruits.
But he was also a great tackler and forced 6 turnovers his junior year, and what really set him apart was he was probably easily the best LB in the first round that was a natural in zone coverage. That doesnt come naturally for a lot of guys, but he was Sean Lee'esque.
I think a lot of people got hung up on him getting washed out sometimes, or just didnt realize how hard it is to do what he did. His whole story was just a story of work, and hes incredibly gifted. We're lucky to have him.
