Twitter: Vander Esch not slated to play Sunday

[stiletto]

It's funny how positions you think are going to be ultimate strengths of the team, in our case (LB/RB) end up being real problems and positions fans worry about (QB/WR) aren't problems at all...

Dorsett and sanu likely out for pats. Seems if a team isn’t at full strength we can’t win it. Let’s see how we fair with Brady and Edelman with no dorsett or sanu

Although we need all three of our best LBs on the field at times, frankly I think we played better when LVE was out and Lee was at WLB.

something is not right withthis guy and hasn't been all season long

 

[atlantacowboy]

I think this strategy of having light and quicker DTs is killing the linebackers.

 

[Stash]

Fine with me. Sean Lee can still play (until he gets hurt).

I think Lee will actually be better at LVE's weakside linebacker spot anyway. Like he was last time.

 

[Cowpolk]

A worry, to be sure.
Suit up Captain Lee, we're going to need you firing at all cylinders.

I'm glad we still have him he still kicks bohunkey

 

[Risen Star]

Uhoh.


Leighton Vander Esch will not play Sunday at New England because of a neck injury that has flared up and required an MRI, according to sources. Vander Esch will be examined in a few weeks to see if the inflammarion has calmed down. Sean Lee will move to the weak side linebacker spot with Joe Thomas seeing more action although Thomas has not practiced this week because of an illness.

Listen, i love LVE, i wish he was healthy, but if theres any game im not as worried with lee getting more snaps, its against the pats. They can abuse LVE’s lack of experience, lee, not so much. If this was a good running team i’d feel different.

$100 says they go for over 200.

 

[Risen Star]

Inflammarion.

I'm not a doctor but that sounds bad.

That very rarely happens. The Cowboys play dime and nickle primarily. Even on 1st down.

Bust.

From Boise State? No way.

 

[EMMITTnROY]

A few weeks? Man.

 

[buybuydandavis]

So Dallas could be without their starting RT, LCB, and LB?

Not really that bad on NFL terms at this point in the season. And we've got decent backups.

 

[aria]

Bust.

At a minimum

 

[Captain43Crash]

Brady read this and will be looking for Lee all day.

Now that would be dumb!!!

 

[efh313]

Sounds like maybe this team needs to get some bigger DTs to help prevent our LBs from getting beat up.

Seems a shame that our defensive coordinator is too damn stubborn to make that necessary adjustment.

He drafted DTs that have at least 100lbs on him!
What more do you want from the man!?

 

[LucaBrasi]

This will be Sean Lee’s final 6 regular season games as a cowboy, and they will be his finest hour. (Crosses fingers)

 

[Playmaker3128]

Lee is actually good vs sniffing out screens, not to say it will matter. I think he'll be ok.

Just wondering whats up with LVE, clearly hasn't been 100% this year.

Gosh, I sure hope someone from the FO reads this post. What the hell does it take to figure this out?
