Lee misses Ro

[Aven8]

Yes I know Ro is never coming back, but his game is suffering without him. I'm not saying Lee is playing bad, but he doesn't look the same without him. What's the story on Nacho's achilles and when is he suppose to return? I haven't heard anything since he got injured in PS. Durant and Hitch are jags.

 

[ThrowuptheXDez88]

It's tough when the dline can't get off blocks and it makes it easier for the opposing teams oline to get to the next level and get their hands on him. I hope we find a decent mix of guys to put on the line with the arrival of Demarcus Lawrence and it makes Lee's job easier.

Someone else posted that the top 6 tacklers this week were DBs.

The DL is awful at both rushing the passer as well as stopping the run. Lee is out there with a journeyman LB (Durant) in a player and what looks to be a career backup talent wise in Hitchens.

In otherwords, teams are able to avoid Lee to a certain extent since basically the rest of the front-seven are JAGs.

 

[DallasDomination]

It's not that Lee is missing Ro, he's just not playing that well. I've seen him get spun around and take bad angles a few times. He's also struggling in zone coverage. But he's the least of our problems. It's not like he hasn't made some good plays either.

Yeah, people are clamoring for DE's but the inside push is far worse IMO. Awful.

I think he plays for us again. The last three regular season games and into the playoffs.

Playoffs? Yes. I'm taking about playoffs despite Jim mora.

When they opened the STAR to the media, McClain's name tag wasn't in the locker room yet Gregory's name was, He's not coming back!!

 

[Common Sense]

I'm sure this goes without saying, but Hitchens is kind of terrible.

 

[TheCoolFan]

I'm just glad he hasn't gotten hurt.

I think the guy is like 300 lbs right now.

IMO, they are just getting money back. Dallas has moved on from him.

Hopefully Jaylon is ready to go next year.

 

[CATCH17]

I'm sure this goes without saying, but Hitchens is kind of terrible.

Maybe he can play on the outside but he is lost in the middle.

 

[yentl911]

Well Ro won't play for this team again so I hope we can make adjustments to protect Lee and let him make plays.

An annual potential pro-bowler flushed his career due to Purple Drank - a total moron.

I think they keep Crawford at LDE with Collins and McClain as DTs with Kawrence at RDE when he returns - that group may cause enough havoc to impact o-lineman from reaching Lee.

He isn't lost he just isn't big enough to be a force

 

[CATCH17]

He isn't lost he just isn't big enough to be a force

Whats his excuse in coverage?

I think he is hurt.

 

[yentl911]

Whats his excuse in coverage?

I think his mind is on run first due to his inability to disengage from blocks and it has impacted his coverage ability

He was solid in coverage last year - he can do it but not from the Mike

 

[JoeyBoy718]

We need J. Smith to get healthy and play like a top pick. Outside of Lee, we have nothing at LB. You could literally pick scraps off the waiver wire and have as much talent as we have. And Lee is 30 and not getting any younger. At least on the DL we have guys with potential: Collins, Tapper, Irving, Gregory.

 

[RW31]

What the hell are you talking about`? He's doing his job, we're winning. Who gives a **** if he makes interceptions or not? It's a different defense, he's got different guys around him, in front of him. And it doesn't help that all our LB's are horse ****, so he's not getting any help either.

 

[AdamJT13]

In solo tackles, yes. Lee tied for third in total tackles (five), one behind Church and Claiborne.

But look at the tackle opportunities -- the Commanders handed off only 12 times and completed 30 passes. That's going to lead to a lot more tackles by the secondary than by the front seven.

I hate to agree but Hitchens has sucked something terrible. I was really excited about him too
