Sean Lee. A guy who really gets it

[Chuck 54]

injuries have frustrated us all, but this is the kind of stuff I, for one, love to read.

Todd ArcherESPN Staff Writer
Sean Lee did not have to take the Cowboys' chartered flight to Los Angeles last Thursday. He was already at his Santa Barbara home before training camp began in Oxnard, California, but he could not resist the bonding with teammates, so he flew back to Dallas. "I did fly home to fly back out. It's special," Lee said. "You get to the plane and there's something special about getting this group together and going to camp. The energy on the plane. A lot of these guys you train with in the offseason, but then for five, six weeks you're off and you don't see them. Everybody is juiced up on the plane, trash talking a little bit, having fun."

Damn good guy, still a damn good player.

The defensive version of Kellen Moore 3-4 years from now.......

My hope is that he’s able to maintain a rhythm.

Those one or two games after his return are brutal.

It’s a hard line to walk.

Keep him healthy at the same time keeping him at his best.

Can he play safety?

Moore was a career backup because he was Linehans ball boy. Lee earned his career. No comparison.

I should have worded my thoughts better......I meant as a future Cowboy coach. Other words, I can Jerry keeping him as an assistant coach when he retires.

Marinelli's replacement.

Marinelli's replacement.

Let's start him out at LB's coach first.

Kris Richard will replace Marinelli....assuming he doesn't replace Garrett first.

Assuming Richard doesn't take another HC job first while Jerry twiddles his thumbs.

Get this man a ring!!!

Get this man a ring!!!

It would be so fitting for Lee and Witten to get a ring this year. Would bring back memories of seeing guys like Jim Jeffcoat, Bill Bates, and Nate Newton winning it all in 1992 after suffering through all those sub-par seasons of the mid to late eighties.

How do we know Moore is anything more than a leading bad guy character in deliverance?

LOL..we don't but like Moore, I see Jerry/Stephen giving him his first opportunity as NFL assistant coach if he's interested.

 

[jwooten15]

And he took a paycut and a reduced role to stay on board and help the team.

High character guy, and one that'll be missed when he retires. Some of his younger teammates could learn a lot from him.

Get this man a ring!!!

It's his responsibility, too for that ring. He needs to do his part and stay on the field and contribute, something that has plagued him his entire career going back to college. All world talent but doesn't mean much if you can't stay on the field. But at this point in his career, he is not as needed as he used to be. Remember the days when this defense would fall apart without him? Now it sometimes doesn't even miss a beat and at times, he hinders this defense. They need to keep dialing back his usage and keep him fresh.

He was talking about coaching, not playing.

I heard Lee was running with all the special teams just so he could be in the field. He’s a special player that people will never give the credit he deserves. In a quarter century full of a ton of bad players, Lee is top 5 easy. If his body would’ve cooperated, we might’ve been talking one of the best ever.
