News: BTB: Stephen said Sean Lee approached the Cowboys about an adjustment regarding a pay cut

[Idgit]

What a snake.

 

[Runwildboys]

Sarcasm does not always come across on a key board! In this case definitely not.

It kinda did, Cap. Just the context alone was enough, I think. Maybe you two have a history that caused you to assume he was being serious, IDK.

If the front office doesn't make Lee a LBer coach as soon as he retires they're dumber than I thought.

Smart guys like these you just don't let go. And if I were coach, I'd almost make it mandatory for every LBer
to have to be in the film room every time Lee is in there.

You've all heard the expression "information is power" - Lee def has - he knows that he might not be as physically gifted as other LBers but he more than makes up for it with his knowledge of his opponent.

He also has great instincts, which aren't teachable. Maybe he'd be a good LB coach, but I don't know if you can be that certain, just by the way he plays.

He is already in some ways. I don't know about this year but they said last year Lee ran a lot of review sessions for the LBs himself.

Ben Bloom is the LB coach this year and was always a Quality Control or assistant position coach for this defense, I think its likely that Bloom is somewhere between the LB coach and assistant LB coach with Lee already doing some of the things a full LB coach would normally do.

Dallas already has Kris Richard as the Defensive Coordinator in all but the title, they aren't rigid about specific coaching roles.

Well thats a good debate is it "instinct" or is it hours and hours of film study. Like most debates - prob a combination of both.

Me I tend to believe its mostly film study, the time he spends watching tape are legendary.

And its also not "just looking at tape" you have to know how to breakdown film and know what to look for.

Reminds me of when Darren Woodson said something to the effect - I learned more in one year under Parcells of how to breakdown film than all my other years combined.

 

[Proof]

Crawford should flat be cut at this point. I wouldn’t take a pay cut. Lee was going to be cut. He knew it and everyone else did. So yeah I guess he should be commended for not being delusional about his career.

delusional about his cowboys career*
He’d have been picked up elsewhere in zero seconds flat had he been released. So yes, it is commendable to offer to reduce his salary in order to continue playing here.

I know it’s easier said than done because it’s not my money, but a lot of qbs should take notice. They can take a little less and pay for a better offensive line.

But offensive lineman are getting huge contracts too. So basically you want the QB to skimp on maximizing their money making potential so that o-lineman cam maximize theirs. Lol.

you have to realize that offensive line is 4 or more players. So you could potentially upgrade, and most teams aren’t in the position to not upgrade a player on the line. Every position on the field is making big dollars.

 

[Hennessy_King]

I guess he's only a snake to his teammates and not to management.

Quite the move from The General.

Last year. I thought they were talking about this year.

Not surprising that Lee did so. Grown up. Everyone understood the situation. Better to face it and deal with it in a timely way than avoid dealing with it in hopes it would never materialize.

No it’s not. Nobody would’ve gave him as much as he got here.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. After rereading the post, I can see where some people would see the sarcasm, but I can also see people not seeing the sarcasm. Again, sarcasm is often not obvious on a site like this.

And Dlaw isn't?

DLaw was not brought up or bashed.

DLaw was not brought up or bashed.

Dlaw was bashed extensively on this boards.

Pay attention.

 

[Mobinvans]

Lee will always be one of my fav players....probably would of have been a hall of famer if didnt get hurt so much

Class act

 

[foofighters]

I'm even prouder to wear a jersey with his name on it now.

I may actually get one despite my boycott of NFL merchandise.

 

[Kingofholland]

Man, should have held a press conference to hammer home his team first approach. Definitely would have signed Zeke, Dak, and Cooper at a team friendly rate by now. Haha

Do like Sean Lee though!

 

[Turkish-Cowboy]

Make him the head coach after his retirement!

Kidding aside, I have a feeling that the guy definitely has what it takes to be a good coach.

 

[beware_d-ware]

Lee would have been released if he didn't take a pay cut. He wanted to come back another season for his best chance at a SB since 2014, and he did what it took to make that happen.

 

[Batman1980]

I really hope when he decides to hang it up he becomes a coach for us in some regard. Outstanding player and a better person.

No love for Leighton Vander Esch and Jaylon Smith?
