Yep he's a bit of a liability in coverage. Something I believe though, he will get better at. There's holes in everyone's game and the opponent WILL find it and exploit it.
In school, he was. But there's a HUGE difference between college ball and the NFL. Therefore also a huge learning curve.And wasn’t LVE touted as a good guy in coverage and space?
Wasn’t that supposed to be his strong suit coming our of school?

The ball goes to the open man. And his man is open, a lot of the time. It's a part of his game that needs work, there's matchup issues and opposing offenses recognize it, isolating him for that reason. It's part of the difference between the NFL and college. He'll improve, he's a sharp kid and a quick study.He really hasn't been, and he has a number of really close calls on pass deflections too.
He plays zone defense almost every snap, so when someone comes into his area he's credited with giving up a "completion"

So you don't understand the difference between zone and man.
You'd fit in well with most of those at CZ.
Cut his ass, STAT!
Doesn’t he also lead the team in INTs?
Apparently you don't understand exploiting the WILL in zone. It's nothing new and the rookie's got a lot to learn in that area. He's far from the first rookie WILL to have trouble in coverage.
Zone is zone. There's nothing novel about it. You think LVE is the only linebacker in the league that does a lot of zone work? The stat is relevant, it's an apples to apples comparison.
