Sean Lee vs DC Mike Nolan

[TheMarathonContinues]

He probably saved Lee from himself. Probably was gonna get hurt again.

 

[RonnieT24]

Unless Lee replaces Jaylon, what’s the point of playing him? He played in place of LVE this last game.

A guy coming off hernia surgery would have to be eased back in. The guys played pretty well.. giving Lee's body another week to heal up is not the worst possible outcome

 

[blueblood70]

maybe ... in due time, once Lee finally decides to retire as a player and after he seizes and sells as a position coach first.
is there a notable NFL player of and name that immediately became a DC after retiring as a player ?

i mean don't the more notable ex-players eventually turn DCs' start out as excellent positions coaches first ?
Ala Jack Del Rio,
Dennis Thurman,
Jerry Gray,
Jim haslett,
Leslie Frazier
Mike Vrabel,
Mike Zimmer
Tony Dungy
Herm Edwards
Ron Rivera
Ron Marinell
George Edwards
Kris Richard

Don't these guys usually start out as a position coach first...before eventually move into a DC role ?

ronnie Lott did pretty well..even had shot at HC but is far better DC..

Cowboys LB Sean Lee played four snaps last Sunday vs. Eagles in season debut. That was less work than coaches planned. DC Mike Nolan: "I think that was an error on our part." This week vs. Steelers will be different. "We'll try to get him more snaps than that

Per 105.3 the Fan Radio - Brian Broaddus twice commented that he supposedly heard that Sean Lee and DC Mike Nolan may have had a brief disagreement on the sidelines.

Broaddus also commented that he thought he saw Lee slightly limping off after just 4 plays.
He doesn't know if the brief coach/player discussion was maybe over limited playing time
or question over the defense.

Stay tuned to watch what transpires with Lee and the coaches on the sidelines ..and Lee on the playing field.

Most of the board would rather have a corpse out on the field then Jaylon. Derrick on the Break thinks the starters should be Sean Lee and LVE. It’s like fans and the media know more then the Cowboys staff.

 

[ESisback]

I was joking. I'm not even sure Like would ever be a good coach. He does much of what he does on instinct, which obviously can't be taught. Maybe he could teach technique and maybe he'd develop a good scheme, but we have no reason to think he'd be good at any of that.

I’m actually only HALF joking! Nolan has been a disaster so far.

 

[Pantone282C]

I could be wrong but I think Tom Landry actually went right from player to DC.. In fact I seem to recall stories that he was actually the DC while still playing.. but I'd have to look it up.

He was player-coach for the Giants. He was asked to explain the flex defense to the D and it took off from there.

 

[Pantone282C]

Yep.. I can confirm that Landry was indeed the DC of the Gmen his last two years as a player in '54 and '55. Get this.. he was all-pro in '54. WHILE coordinating his own defense that only gave up 15 points a game. .. Coach Landry was such a baller. And the OC on those teams was Vince Lombardi? Are you kidding me!?!

It is an epic story of the history of the GB vs Dallas rivalry. That Giants team frequently competed for the title.

 

[Pantone282C]

Landry was one of the best DBs in the game - lots of interceptions.

They planned limited reps anyway - sounds like it was dialed back a lot.

when has Ronnie Lott been a DC... or any position coach in the NFL ...?

sorry brain fart oops

I meant MiKe Singletary and wanted to add Ken Norton JR

 

[DCBoysfan]

Never like this hire.

 

[Redball Express]

If that blow up caused Nolan to keep Lee on the sidelines, yeah that's a pretty big deal.

It could be Nolan saw he might not should have been playing..

he needed to not tear his hammy.

That would make sense.

Lee does not have to do that to prove to anybody he is tough.

We know he is.

 

[Redball Express]

Never like this hire.

On the surface me neither.

But in his defense look what McCarthy gave him to improve the defense..

Poe and McCoy and Clinton Dix and not much else.

And they got cut.

Aldon Smith is injured and Tank is obviously hurt or has been till last week. Jaylon has been paper thin until the Jints game and Diggs is the only guy who as done anything.

Wolf Hunter is way behind as being any impact while on offense Badass is doing well at center and CeeDee will be Rookie of the Year if somebody throws him the ball.

Nolan did not have any favors handed his way. I believe he will surprise us. This could be his last coaching job in the pros. I expect him to start getting edgy as DC and calling for more blitzes to make some plays for the D.

Needs to happen now.

 

[conner01]

Fire Nolan, hire Lee as DC.

Lee strikes me as a coach type player
Maybe that’s his future though it won’t be at DC right away

 

[Kaiser]

I don't know that this is a big deal. Emotions run hot on NFL sidelines.. Even hotter when you're losing. It's to be expected really. I'd be more concerned if there WEREN'T any blowups.

Greg Hardy yelled at the Special Teams coach and slapped his clipboard out of his hand.

Second look at Greg Hardy?

How does one "supposedly hear" a conversation? You either heard it or you didn't. Broaddus is full of it. Disgruntled employee.

 

[G2]

Typically I don't subscribe to the "fire this guy" mentality, but think about what Nolan has done in the past as a coach and that pretty much lines up with what he's done here. And it's probably not going to get better.

Word has it that Carr left with some words for the coaches. Management should talk to Carr and Lee about the defensive coaches.
