Maybe hard to believe but a lot of young players ( especially African Amer ) looked up to him. How much trust does Lee with teammates after Dez comment? Just to be clear, I certainly don't agree with Dez comments regarding Lee but that besides the point. The question is there any damage in the locker room from the comment......

Any evidence to support that assertion? Let's start with Dak:

“I think I have to throw him a better ball,” Prescott said, via David Moore of the Dallas Morning News. “Just put it right there on his face mask and don’t give him a chance to drop it, I guess.”

Of course, if — God forbid — Sean Lee were to miss any games due to injury, we’d be seeing the same folks, who are now cheering him vs Dez, be the ones calling for SL to be traded or cut (“Lee’s old”, “he’s injury-prone”, “he’s undersized”, etc).

Truth hurts...

Sean Lee has already missed a lot of games with injuries ...

The concern about the vanilla offense is still present. :(
Saw someone on the NFL Network break down Dez and the first drive of our season last year to debunk what Dez was saying about our offense being vanilla. Turns out Dez lined up in 4 different positions and ran 7 different routes on the first drive alone. Now he didnt break down how good or how bad the routes were. So IMO Dez can cry all he wants but Lee is right look in the mirror. What we are hearing now from Dez is likely a very small indication of what he was like to deal with on a day to day basis during the football season.

Well, none of this changes the fact that he's made of glass and been on the field for plenty of out most garbage defensive teams ever fielded and im not sure what exactly is his role in the offense.

I'm not sure what exactly Sean Lee means by accountable, when he's seen all sorts of changes on defense, but the HC and his offense is anything but accountable.

Most of the people aren't paying attention to what Sean said and that was 'other players' felt the same way as him, so he basically confirmed exactly what Dez was saying. Sean Lee didn't tell us anything other than what Dez was saying.

Dez simply said if Sean had an issue with it, he should have said it to his face since their lockerrooms were right across from each other.



Not surprising.

It’s funny because it actually confirms everything Dez said.

I also find it interesting how CZ ignores/pretends Cole Beasley didn’t have a bone to pick with our offense and even went as far as saying “if I say something I’ll probably be next (to get cut)” and was heated when Dez was released

I like Sean Lee, but criticizing someone to be more accountable to a team for an organization that doesn't have any accountability from the top down is like telling him to rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic.

If those teammates were looking up to Dez instead of Sean Lee, then they're complete morons.

I guess this means you approve of there being no accountability among the players. After all, if you don’t support players expecting and demanding accountability, you logically can’t support there being accountability.

Good statement by Lee. Still not sure who’s telling the truth though.

Dez always struck me as a " me first " type of person. From day one as a rookie he could be seen as a distraction on the sidelines. These people will NEVER see the errors in their ways.

Only players need accountability. Coaches and management don’t need no stinkin accountability lol.

Any doubts about about whether or not it was a good decision to release Dez are a distant memory now.

Straight up cancer.

Well it depends on Dez's personality. I mean there is the case where Sean Lee tells Dez in his face his concerns, and Dez listens. And then there is the case where Dez might be the type of person that if you tell him something to his face, he immediately blows, causes a ruckus, and nothing positive comes of it. I mean come on, just because someone said that someone should've said something to their face, you don't know if there is a reason why people don't do that.

Dez has done more to help this team win on Sundays ( dont let that go over your heads) then Sean Lee and I didnt stutter.. he better stay healthy is all im going to say for right now...

Sean Lee U Better Stay Healthy all year no games missed...

He hasnt been reliable either when we really need him

cause he hurt cant play thats been since he came in the league.

There was a time, where I would think that Dez played more like Alvin Harper than Michael Irvin -- his number sake. In that I mean, there were many years, where Dez would do one big play in a game and then you wouldn't hear from him again, instead of consistently making plays. My opinion of him changed, and in 2014 he proved himself, but then he got injured and dropped off the face of the earth. XD So its hard for me to see Dez being a bigger factor in the cowboys winning than Sean Lee, who makes a difference everytime he is in there.

I think dez has at least lost over half his crazed stalkers on this forum and all over after that social media rant.

And then of all people he decides to go at one of the most respected fan favorites in lee. That in a way just put the nail in the coffin.

:facepalm:Anybody but Lee!:eek:
