Fine like Vanilla Ice.

Packers should to play “Ice Ice Baby” every time Van Ness makes a play.

More than that, they are undefeated with Willis and winless with Love. Do the Packers have to reject Love to win?

The Love you take is equal to the Love you make, ain’t it.

Lying in the gutter, aiming for the moon
Trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon

See the forest there in every seed
Angels in the marble waiting to be freed

Just need Love
Just need Love

Goddamn, I Love Coldplay.

Yes he will. Gary played far more in college than LVN did. The athleticism of LVN is off the charts. If he can build solid fundamentals he’ll be a great player for a long time.

I don't understand the concern about LVN. I thought he has been playing fairly good. In three games. playing about 1/3 of the snaps, he has 5 tackles, a sack, a TfL and a fumble recovery. Isn't that decent for limited snaps?

His sack of Fields in last season's opener was enough for me. The burst, power and athleticism are all things that can't be taught. He's only gotten better, IMO.

Wayyyy to early to give up on LVN. He's still pretty raw; he wins on effort and bull rush. Needs to have more pass rush moves and to have a pass rush plan. He's not there yet. I think Rashan was a little farther along after a season.
Hafley's 4-3 is a better fit for him - I think he's more of a 4-3 DE than OLB. He's super athletic and very strong. Plays the run pretty well. I don't think he'll be a superstar but I do think he can be a solid pass rusher who can replace Preston (who seems a bit miscast in the 4-3 and is aging). If he gets you 6-9 sacks a year that's ok.

Having 4 halfway decent pass rushers (RG, Preston, JJ and LVN) is a luxury.

5 with Wyatt.
