I Don't Know if This Has Been Asked Yet But What Now?

[IrishAnto]

With the Lee injury whose our MLB? Who would be the candidates? Are there candidates? Perhaps the guy is not on the roster yet. Is Devonte Hollman and Anthony Hidgens going to be the guys? Could a trade be made? Still kinda early, right?

God I'm depressed

I know it was only one game last year, but Hollman played well at the “Mike” against the Eagles last year.

Why not give him the rest of the OTAs and training camp to get fully acclimatised?

 

[Falcon554]

Everyone is a contender right now tbh.

Saying that, no I didn't.
Saying that, I was really wondering if we had a guy currently on this team with the potential to come in and take the helm once and for all. Don't know if we have a guy like that tbh.

This sad sack of a team will never be a contender

We go 0-20. Yes, the Cowboys will be the first team to lose 4 extra games in the regular season.

If the title of this article proves prophetic, we need to snatch this guy up immediately: http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/sports/Skov-Faces-Uphill-Battle-to-Make-49ers-Roster-260112891.html

Skov is too slow to play MLB in this defense.

You do realize the definition of the word "Never" right?

 

[jazzcat22]

Look for Ernie Sims to be signed, then they will move players around to see the best fit to replace Lee. I think unless some FA really impresses them, they go into camp with what they have.
There will be some June 1st cuts, so maybe a potential LB there too.
Then don't rule out a trade, who do we have and where are we strong at [hold off the usual we have no depth to trade, blah, and so on]
How about if Orton shows up, trade?

Also, is this the continued curse of some kind. Injury bug starting right away. Or a blessing in disguise?
Lee gets injured at some point every year, so game 4, game 7, game 12, right when we need him the most, only to have no one there to pick it up. well may have a back up finally in Hitchens for that, if he pans out. But a t critical time, he goes down.
Or becuase of his injury now, we have 2 months to TC, then all of TC, find not only a replacement now, but hopefully for the future. I love Lee, it's a tremendous loss, but enough is enough. Give me a little lesser talanted player, but someone that will be there for 16 games.

Well so far it means 18 years and counting

Maybe we can start feeding the strong safeties some biscuits.

you do know that no one really trades unless its draft time right

 

[morasp]

I can't remember which game but Durant started a game at MLB after Lee's first injury and looked fast and decisive but then he got hurt. I think they'll give him a look.

Really, seems there have been trades made during TC's before. I believe Dallas had 2 extra 7th round picks from trades made during last years TC.

 

[JackWagon]

Some dude off the street like last year on the D line. Cause god forbid we actually hit on a 4th or 6th rounder in the draft.

 

[theSHOW]

Serious question: With Lee healthy did you actually expect the Cowboys to contend for a championship this year?

yes.

 

[Alexander]

I do think there needs to be some tinkering with the nickel packages. We have too many "in the box" safeties who can hit not to.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Pick one.......

Curly would have been a heck of a Mike LB!

Seriously, I think the key to the success of the defense this year was dependent on the d-line, CBs and safeties. The LBs just need to be consistent in their form and assignments.

 

[Silverstar]

Would like to see Carter step up and take the reins at MLB.

Never?

Are you really a fan?

Come on, the 'Boys were 8-8 last year with the worst defense imaginable.

We're better off having this injury now so that we can plan without him, rather than have Lee in and out during the season.

Find a little silver lining to this cloud.

After hearing the sad and (even sadder) inevitable news today my first thought was "I wonder what it would take to pry Borland or Skov from the 49ers?".

When that 49ers draft unfolded, it seemed like after each pick I kept telling myself "how did they get that guy..there?". Those were two of them.

I mean,

• Jimmie Ward at 30 was probably no steal, but he will be very good

after that though

• Carlos Hyde at the end of Rd 2, future stud
• Borland in the mid 3rd,
• the best Center in the draft (comparable to Frederick) in the 3rd, future starter
• Brandon Thomas at pick 100 (future starter, not this year)
• Bruce Ellington, WR in the 4th
• Dontae Johnson, CB in the 4th
• Aaron Lynch, Keith Reasner, Trey Millard, etc, etc
• Shane Skov and others as UDFA

I just liked the value of what they did

been 8-8 for years now, what has changed? Nothing, I full expect 8-8 or allot worse, they wont be any better that's for sure

I agree with this.

Hitchens will be the MLB on running downs and probably Carter & Holloman will be on the field in the "nickel" with one of the safeties serving as a "hybrid".
