![]() Now he is expected to do that, and the pairing of him with Vander Esch feels really, really good. Even better, late in the year he began to show just what he could be coming into a season completely healthy. What Dallas got was ten games played, five as a starter, and 47 tackles. Everyone expected a redshirt year for him. Tom - The Cowboys took him in the draft last year after he fell following an injury discovered by their own medical staff in combine physicals, necessitating surgery. With the two big guys up front eating up space and blocks, expect LVE to have even more production this year. Even at Boise he was never a guy to take on blocks so this move helps keep him on his toes and using his best traits which are lateral mobility and ability to diagnose plays. The Mazi Smith pick helps the run defense which was smart, but also helps one player above all others, Vander Esch. Once he had Johnathan Hankins help keep him clean to flow to the ball carrier the entire season took a heel turn in run defense for both the Cowboys and LVE. The Cowboys did retain him on a one-year prove-it deal, and he proved it. It made business sense why they did it, but still a low point for him. Mike - When the Cowboys didn’t pick up LVE’s fifth-year option I felt sad for him and the situation. ![]() Another good season from him will help a lot, and there is no reason to doubt it will happen. The presence of Wilson, Micah Parsons, and Jayron Kearse spreads the load and just makes things more effective for Dan Quinn. The middle of the defense is solid with him. He was second on the team in tackles behind Donovan Wilson, playing in three fewer games, and would probably have been first if he’d not missed those. Tom - Last year was a redemption season of sorts for LVE. This edition is looking at the linebackers for Dallas, so let’s get straight to it.
