LVE has a whopping 4 yds totaled as Tackles for Loss this season as the MLB. That is not a good number as an indicator of being a run stopper or gap closer. Let's be real......many feel LVE had a decent/good game against the Texans......perhaps because of 14 tackles? Lost is the fact that the bar is low.......and that is the glaring indicator. LVE is slow, but he is our's......but let's calm down with the hoopla.

need to rewatch the 2nd down pass to Moore from Driskel after Ball’s man forced the INT late in the game. Moore catches it at the 8 and should’ve been dead to rights but Vander Trash overruns it by 2 yards and Moore almost gets in. LVE sucks and needs to go - he could’ve cost us that game. He’s late to diagnose and is late to arrive.

:facepalm:

You are so off base , where do I even start? You can take a play from any game , isolate it, and use it to prove any player in the NFL sucks.

I think LVE has played very good ball this year, his number back it up. How others feel about him that is on him. He made several big plays in this past game

Every player in the League has looked bad on more than one play. You can find every player on the Cowboys D with some bad tape last Sunday. LVE has been solid and made some good plays this year.

Are you related to Starstruck/forgot to login into that account?
Even decent players mess up on plays. Even good to great players can have a few bad plays per game.

Does Tyreek Hill suck as a receiver cause he couldn't spot the well thrown ball to him vs the Chargers that was a sure TD?

I would say a vast majority of the board has him as replaceable/average +/-. If you want to make a point, show the countless times he gets eaten by a blocker. But missing on one tackle, vs a wide receiver in open space is a bad example.

Did you watch THE REST of the game where he was making tackles others missed or right in the hole for no gain. Sure pick one play and you can make anyone look great or terrible. I mean, 3rd and 3 needing a stop since we're losing, and we had #11 on the sidelines, so he must suck...

100% spot on.

I was mentioning this a few days ago. It gets lost because of the outcome of the goal line stand but LVE’s inability to change direction with any urgency nearly cost us.

In fairness, he had a very good game overall but he was bailed out by his teammates corralling Moore down at the 2-yard line.

LOL. Discuss what? One play? You really should bring more than just one example. If you had, you'd know that he's been fairly decent this year. Not the best but decent. He's certainly not trash and he won't be here next year.

Lol, quite the endorsement “he’s been fairly decent!!! And he won’t be here next year!!”

I don't think he'll be around starting for the team. His position will more than likely be addressed this off season and his age is coming into play along with his past neck injury. So ya, he's either gone or at best a backup. It's the reality of the business of the NFL. You think that's a stretch?

and why? He is a FA and like many FA will likely get offers for others. Cowboys have some young guys in house who will take that spot. But LVE play has been good for the Cowboys this season.

No, it’s not a stretch but I’m laughing because you’re seemingly coming to LVE’s defense, but then effectively damning him with faint praise (“he’s been fairly decent!”)

I think he’s likely gone after the season too. Ironically, I think he had his best game overall last week. I do think he’s a middling NFL linebacker at best. Folks are harping on the OP about “one play,” as if there aren’t other examples of poor play by LVE throughout the season. We need more from the position for sure.

I agree he has been better this year .... but I also think moving on from him is probably the best decision.

We know what he is at this point and we should try to get upgrade the position.

Clark would be the man to take over the MLB along with Cox

If you are in here bashing LVE after his best game of the year, nitpicking single plays, then you simply hate the man. Whatever your reason for hating him is your issue. Keep your agenda to yourself.

Numbers game or not, it's concerning he's been inactive more times than not. I know we need guys for special teams, but that's another concern that he can't even crack that lineup as a backup LB over Luke Gifford.

I agree Clark should be fine taking over as one LB, but think they need to dip again into the draft for more competition for the #2 LB spot.

I agree about Cox, I think he needs to bulk up at bit he is 233, and that is small for MLB.
