When you play linebacker or the middle you are SUPOSED to record a lot of tackles...

There are over 150 linebackers in the league. Sean is 6th in the league in tackles, bro.

If you look at the top 6 guys in tackles and see how it works out by percentage.

Player........Tackles/Snaps....Tackle Perc
Zach Brown 89/560 15.89%
Bobby Wagner 88/513 17.15%
Tahir Whitehead 86/555 15.49%
Christian Kirksey 81/645 12.55%
Luke Kuechly 80/496 16.13%
Sean Lee 77/497 15.49%

Properly evaluated Lee jumps past Kirksey and is tied for 4th.

Since 2010 Cowboy turnovers:

Sean Lee, 15
Barry Church, 8
Morris Claiborne, 8
Orlando Scandrick, 6
Mike Jenkins* 8
JJ Wilcox, 6

If anything Sean Lee is UNDER-HYPED.

For a comp I used Jenkins entire Cowboy career 2008-2012

As you crunch your numbers, valiantly trying to compare a half season of production, keep in mind that my original thesis ... nay ... Statement was ... Thanks, Lee, for finally living up to your hype and paycheck.
Nowhere did I knock his production THIS YEAR. GOT IT?
And, oh there's this ... We have not seen him play a full year, it seems, in ages.
And, oh, there's this ... Dak and Zeke and the O line and Bease, along with our secondary have been playing phenomenal this year, too.
Excuse me if we don't kiss Lee's feet, prone, to the exclusion of all others on the team.
Lee, after all, like Romo and others, is just a fall or sprain or some other calamity away from being a chronically injured player -- again.
Get back to me at the end of the season and let me know how No. 5 among linebackers led our defense to the Super Bowl.
I will drink a Guinness in his honor.
Until then his anointing oil as the GOAT remains on the top shelf where me mum can't reach it, lest she names the mailman as the GOAT, too.
Now have some class and give the lesser others, I.e. Zeke, dak, bease -- some credit and we shall release you to the custody of your mum.

The greatest player in the NFL won't help you if he's a chronic rehabber.
Now button your lip before we jinx the lad!

I will, as long as he's on the field (kiss lees feet) because when he is, I know the defense will be in good hands and he will show up. When he gets hurt the praise will stop. What's so hard about that? Y'all some weirdos

Lee was an all-pro BEFORE this year. He won 4 or 5 defensive player of the week honors BEFORE this year. He got all 15 of his turnovers BEFORE this year.

And how the hell is honoring Lee somehow to the exclusion of honoring the great play of others?!?! That is dark zero-sum thinking. Darkness! And I renounce it.

We've had 10 page threads singing the praise of Dak and Romo and Zeke. I've been on the front row singing along! I've gone on and on about Ware and about guys like Dat Nguyen in the past.

And strange how does a player known for constant injuries find the time for soooo many honors. I am sure the rest of the defense, known for sub average play in years past, are impressed!!!
But, strangely, I get the feeling that when the Cowboys play, you cheer only Lee's play.
For that too, I renounce you!

Stout lad, are you dissing him or praising him?
I'm actually praising him. I like Sean! Good leader, great player, good attitude, even gave the Cowboys back money when he was injured. me and Sean are 100

On a side note, I'm planning on having a midnight rave in farmers branch. Get it real crunk in the FB

Not in my hood, bloke. The Queenshead Boys might let you, but the skinheads from Liverpool could pose a bit o' a problem!

Oh ...and there's this...chronic injuries and he whole time he has been here.
Last year he looked lost as RBs and some receivers blew past him.So don't give me this GOAT schtiff business.
Now go to your room and finish that altar for Lee!
Oh, and this ...your avatar once yanked and traded Eugene Lockhart, leading tackler on the Cowboys, because he knew, unlike you, the maxim of being a linebacker and recording lots of tackles ...

Yeah he looked lost all the way to the pro bowl :lmao2:

It is quite frightening to read about some who cannot recognize mirth. Anyone else ever make that observation about you? Or could it be the thin air in den?
No offense, there, Harley.
Heh
