LVE definitely is done in Dallas. We need a thumper in there.

[ERDG]

Everytime I see LVE not getting away from blocks and getting beat, I go see tape from next years LBs. Darrien Beavers, Devin Lloyd, Christian Harris, Brandon Smith welcome to Cowboys with open arms. I can wish. I wished for Jabril Cox when he was available in the 4th round. Cox will shine next season. I can't wait to see Gregory, DLaw mix in Gallimore-Hill-Osa, Diggs, Parsons playing together. It will be a thing of beauty, just like watching my GS Warriors. Cowboys need good coaching, avoid mental breakdowns, and for Dak to play like he did in TB and NE from now on, and there won't be anyone who can stop them.

If y’all think biadasz stinks, y’all are just wrong. He had a rough start since then he hasn’t allowed a hurry, hit, sack, or presssure in 5 straight games that is all pro play right there. He’s not Travis Fredrick, their will never be another, but biadasz is playing really well

[chrblah]

For himself and for the team, it really effing sucks Travis Frederick had to retire. Tyron Smith is first ballot HOF, but Frederick in his limited time was one of the greatest lineman I ever saw, full stop. And hands down the best to do it at his position. Losing him single handedly put us from the best O-line in the league to maybe barely top 5 if everyone is fully healthy and playing to their full potential. What could have been for that young man and for this team had he been able to still play is something I really think about all the time. I just hope he'll at least be able to live a happy healthy life and his affliction doesn't take any further major toll on that

[tonyortiz]

I’d rather have Jabril Cox instead of LVE

[fernandoverde]

Man I remember just a couple years ago we thought we had the linebackers set for the future with LVE and Smith holding it down now look at us 🤦

[dustyrhodes]

Let’s just point out if diggs breaks the interception record and Myles Garrett or tj wattt breaks the sack record. Diggs should win it, interceptions are harder to get by one player than sacks are

[pokerpariah]

If it wasn't for the lack of depth at LB and LVE being on his rookie contract, he would've been cut a long time ago. He has blocked Parsons from making more plays than the other teams. He has not been the same since his neck injury and he plays with caution with blockers going up against him. He plays like he's trying to avoid getting hurt for a new contract but little does he realize he's playing at a level where no one will sign him.

[holeewoodlee]

Should've kept Jaylon and got rid of LVE

[koberino]

The day we all realized Smith and LVE were our all-pro linebackers of the future, was the same day they started to decline smh sad

[QuanGee]

Anthony brown never gets his head around

[rafaelfitzmaurice]

This game must be a show me your best stuff for Vanderlesh, last call to stay in team. Definitely a do or die situation for the wolf!

[BigTrapDog]

Anthony Brown has been more than serviceable this year. Despite his bad games, he never stops competing and still plays hard.

Let Joseph develop. We knew that's what he was going to be once we drafted him. Let coach Quinn get him right

[travisavery]

Kearse better re sign i like that young man

[jeffcoughlin]

We need to go stomp a mud hole in Wasshington this Sunday....little worried about the Offense.Time to step it up to the level of how we played earlier this season....10 Days off to come up with some outside runs and misdirection plays I hope...keep kicking ass Parsons and welcome back Gregory and Gallimore to the mix.Put it on me Boys

[rickyodom]

bench brown put joseph to corner leave lve in the middle draft some one inthe draft

[dylanleach]

Washington concerns me a bit rn, but if we beat them this week, then idk. I'm confident they'll go out there and get the win, now let's see if they actually will, go Cowboys!!!🔥💪

[Samsartplace]

"KN" would be better on the field

[ev]

KJ hasn't won the job over AB yet

[davidewing]

WAS!!!! That defense is what puts them over the top.
