Twitter: Vander Esch is on a mission

[Whyjerry]

Lol - He will be on IR by week 3. He waits a couple seasons to “train his butt off”? Time to move on. No more unreliable guys. He is at best a rotational guy in my opinion.

Leighton Vander Esch will be around The Star for almost all of the offseason, frustrated that his 2020 season was slowed by collarbone and high ankle injuries. “I’m going to train my frickin’ butt off this offseason. I’m not really going anywhere. I’m going home for two weeks and I’m coming right back. I’m going to be here training all the way through February, March and April. That’s just what it is. I’m already looking forward to it. I’m on a mission, and I think all the guys should be too.”

I didn't know that LVE is mormon..................

 

[CowboyManDan]

This is great to read. Only thing is not sure either of his injuries (collarbone, high ankle sprain) this year could have been prevented from more training.

 

[Risen Star]

I don't know how you can read that and not be stoked.

I like this post. But have a firm not giving you actual likes policy.

It definitely is encouraging. Just believe injuries aren't the only thing holding back his play recently.
Curious how the weight room will be treated due to C-19. anyone know any local restrictions for Arlington?

I’d assume a multi millionaire athlete has several options lol

This guy has been on a mission to never come close to realizing the hype here in the Fan Zone since his rookie season

Part of this mission will undoubtedly be to get hurt during the offseason. The more football activity he does, the higher his risk of injury.

He’s way too fragile to be a reliable part of the plan, not to mention he’s regressed when he’s on the field which is not something you usually see so early in a career.

He and his agent, who has at times presented himself as an orthopedic medicine genius, have got to lay the groundwork for contract hype

But, we all knew the injury risk when he was drafted and chose to ignore it so I guess what we have is pretty much to be expected

I don’t hate the guy but other than a few big games his rookie year and the Wolf call, which fans seem to love, he just doesn’t do much for me, or the team.

True, but he says he wants to be at the Star. Just didn't know if there were any restrictions in that area, especially if a lot of players show up. Or maybe Jerry will have the cameras off so no one will know how many show up unless some idiot does some tiktoks while training

 

[Zman5]

He saw it working for Jaylon getting a fat contract from Jerrah so.....

Kidding aside, good luck to LVE but having a bad neck as a LB doesn't bode well.

 

[Runwildboys]

I feel bad for LVE. Injuries are the only thing holding him back from being a great LB. Unfortunately they’re simply not preventable.

It depends on the reason for them. If you're going all out, sideline to sideline on every play, your chances of getting injured increase dramatically. I personally think that's Lee's biggest problem.

 

[StuckMojo]

Shouldn’t a pro athlete want to do this every off season?

 

[birdwells1]

Everyone's gonna talk mad crap about him now because that's what CZ does but this is exactly what I want to hear from everyone on the team after 6-10.

Uhhhh......So what has he been doing before the previous seasons? I smell a contract year approaching.

 

[aria]

Sounds like he’s been hanging around Dlaw and Jaylon too much.

 

[Creeper]

What are the odds he hurts himself working out and misses all of training camp and the first 3 games of the next season?

 

[birdwells1]

This is great to read. Only thing is not sure either of his injuries (collarbone, high ankle sprain) this year could have been prevented from more training.

Don't forget the neck injury, that's too many areas of concern for a high impact position like linebacker.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I'd be more frustrated by being historically bad than being dinged up.

All this fricking defense does is talk. Nobody on the offense (except maybe Zeke sometimes) opens their mouth like these guys on defense do.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Sweet! He will be in peak physical condition when he runs into the wrong gaps next season

 

[conner01]

Good for him at least he will try to prevent the injuries as best he can. Don’t give up.

Players don’t control being injured but when they put in extra work to be the best they can be it should be commended
