I think some of the stats are incorrect for Sean Lee, understand he played in 46 games not 32 as stated.

Hopefully moving him to the weak side will let him stay healthy because when he is in he is a game changer.

I think moving him to the weak side could keep him healthy, but I think it is almost going to limit his impact on the field.

He doesn't have the speed to be a sideline to sideline kind of player, and his ability to drop back and control the middle of the field will be gone.

I think teams are really going to run away from him and throw away from him, and him being on the right side, makes that a lot easier.

I think Hitchens and Scandrick are going to have to be stout against the run.

We don't really know how fast Lee will be coming off the injury, but I don't think Derrick Brooks was that much faster than Lee.

He may very well take the mlb assignments in pass coverage. Run away? Fine. Ro in the middle and Hitchens give you some nice run play. But in pass protection, he is better than Ro so might take on the harder assignments

I'm not sure about the speed thing, but I did consider that being on the weak side, he might not get to be around the ball as much. When he was in the middle, I think that allowed him to be involved in almost every play because he was quite literally in the middle of most of the action. He seemed to always be around the ball on every play. With him off to one side now, we may seem him being involved in fewer plays (which would in turn keep him healthier theoretically, but at the same time we want our defensive best player involved as much as possible).

He will be the best LB on the field(for the boys) no matter the position and he will make the players around him better which can make Hitchens a viable backer without us compensating for him being out there on the field.
Those interception numbers for Lee are insane. I still remember like yesterday the two he picked off Peyton Manning. Looking forward to Eli, Bradford, and RG3 throwing his way.

I, too, remember how it seemed like Lee was getting interceptions like almost every other game. I remember thinking "another interception, are you kidding me? and this guy is a linebacker??"

I imagine hard to pick your poison when you see Ro and Lee across from you on defense. You get sloppy and Lee picks you off, and you take too much time and Ro knocks the living daylights out of you.

He makes this defense better if we can keep him on the field he is going to impact the game in our favor.

I don't think anyone has ever denied this. The problem is that he can't stay on the field. He hasn't finished a complete season since before his junior year of college.
