With the injury news coming down this that Sean Leehttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/sean-lee/0669f997-f45d-4fb6-90d5-17ba99f128b2/) was lost for the season to a toe injury, the front office was forced to make a move to replace his spot on the roster. The pro scouts have been tracking players since camps around the league opened in July just for situations like this.
There is no time for feeling sorry for yourself and no one really cares about your problems. You can put your head in the sand or you just have to find a way to replace the injured player and move on. Let’s not kid ourselves, replacing Lee will not be easy, he is just so vital of what the Cowboys do leadership and scheme wise.
The direction that the team went in was to add veteran Ernie Simshttp://www.dallascowboys.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster/ernie-sims/63fa0d15-dabb-429e-8205-c3298c30a566/) who played last season with the Indianapolis Colts and the previous year with the Philadelphia Eagles.
When you watch Sims on tape, the first thing you notice is that he is a short player but very active. He usually lines up as the weak side outside linebacker in a 4 – 3 scheme. He showed quick reactions with the ability to avoid blocks. When he did get hooked up on blocks, he really fought hard to get off them.
