ESPN: Cowboys' Tony Romo: 'Sean Lee is best linebacker in NFL'

[xwalker]

“Sean not being voted into the Pro Bowl is a huge mistake,” Tony Romo said via text message. “I think Sean Lee is the best linebacker in the NFL. I see him every day and should know his weaknesses. I still can’t find any.”

It's unfortunate that 3-4 outside pass rushers are called LBs. It's a completely different position from a 4-3 LB or 3-4 ILB.

It has always been a pain when reviewing draft prospects trying to sort through the LBs to find the pass rushers and non pass rushers.

It's also obviously a problem with the Pro Bowl also.

This is what happens when you pick the Pro Bowl the same way as American Idol.

You think Drew Brees is a bit miffed?

Drew Brees?
Matthew Stafford?

Perhaps over Dak Prescott? I know many people think so. Some are on this very board.

Dak got it in Sanjaya fashion. LOL

Amazing run defender but he's not fast enough in the open field.

sorry I tried not too.

I think he's joking?

Holy ****, the ignorance...

It's like the offense gets so much attention, they actually forgot we have a defense.

How hard is it to just separate 4-3 DEs from 3-4 OLBs. Seems like a quick easy fix that would prevent garbage like this from happening?

Or better yet have a passrusher category for the DEs / OLBs and a category for ILBs

The best player on our D he's just not fast enough to be useful elsewhere.

The game itself is pretty much unwatchable. Just announce the players that were voted to it and stop right there. Heck, probably half the actual roster that ends up playing in the game are actually there because of the "real" pro bowlers begging out or participating in the Super Bowl. You rarely hear of player injuries in the game, but why take the risk?

I can't believe people actually spend money to fly out there, then spend money on an actual ticket for the game. I can't even watch 3 seconds of it.

I haven't watched the game in years. I don't know that a lot of people fly to Hawaii strictly for that game, there's lots of fun things to do, not to mention getting a break from ol' Man Winter. I was stationed there from 73-75 and loved it. The stadium opened a few months after I left, so I never got to go to a game there, unfortunately.

Pro Bowl isn't in Hawaii any more. It's in Orlando, FL. I am not joking.

Goes to show how long it's been since I watched it. When I read your response, it dawned on me that they had moved it. I'll bet the players much preferred Oahu.

This is the kind of stereotyping that prevents Lee from gaining wider respect.

Lee has a 37.5" inch vertical. 4.71 40 time. He is incredibly athletic.

Without him our defense is nothing, he is just not as fast as I'd want him to be.

Good grief!!

Don't you have something more constructive to do like watch the WNBA or something?

Damn, I didn't even know Lee had ups like that.
