In Marinelli's scheme the WLB follows the 3T rather than the SLB following the TE.
Couldn’t we have figured this this last year?
Lee was hurt much of the year last year.
Yeah I know that, but when he was healthy this wasn’t tried once. It’s what we see too often with this staff.Lee was hurt much of the year last year.
It won't be more.
Last season, in games where he was healthy and started, he averaged playing about 66% of the snaps.
They used the SLB on about 28% of the snaps in 2018.
Lee playing about 28% of the snaps is the ideal situation.
He'll play enough to stay in true game shape, but the limited snaps will limit his chances for injury.
Staying in game shape will be good if Vander Esch or Jaylon miss any snaps and Lee is needed to replace one of them (short term).
For no real reason, here is the clip of a Giants LB telling Romo he isn't the Mike.
For no real reason here I am saying he would've thrown less picks if he could read the D
I was talking about Romo.Footwork and dependability of the offensive line have everything to do with an ability to read linebackers and safeties upon the snap, and when no movement lies appear. Both are being worked upon by the new quarterback's coach and Moore. Three years...those will improve by repetition as well.

That is, things that are too obvious as a good choice are ignored. The only thing we tried was to sub out our pro bowl rookie for Lee. Which was a poor choice. IMO.
Should be fun for two weeks or so
Factoring in his work-ethic, football smarts and knowledge of opponents, Sean Lee still has the physical skills to play 2 downs a series at SLB.
But, as usual, how well this works out is gonna depend on if Lee can stay healthy.
They're calling Lee the SLB; however, he likely plays what many coaches would call WLB.
In the photo, Vander Esch is the WLB in Marinelli's terms, but many coaches would call Vander Esch the SLB in this alignment with #48 Thomas as the WLB.
When the Cowboys play 3 LBs sets (base), it is likely to look similar to the photo with Lee in place of #48 Thomas.
La ti da...I was talking about how quarterbacks develop...and Romo did the same way.I was talking about Romo.

You don’t just throw people into an unfamiliar position spur of the moment, unprepared, especially when coming off or nursing an injury. They didn’t practice that way in training camp, and Lee was never consistently healthy where they had opportunity to work on it during the season. Lee only played in weeks 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 14 & 16 last year, and in some of those games only played sparingly.
When he came back week 7, and Vander Esch was established as a stud(for sure at the end of the season and NO QUESTION in the playoffs) he should’ve been prepared to play that spot.
It’s not like they were asking him to kick field goals or playboy WR. Just a linebacker spot that isn’t very different. At all. I’m quite sure he knew the responsibilities of that position.
Best players on the field as they’re doing a year late.
Top 10 passer rating of all time says he read them well enough.For no real reason here I am saying he would've thrown less picks if he could read the D
This almost looks like the old 4-6 Bear.
