Imagine we had Sean Lee at 100% for the entirety of the season, he was flying around out there like his college days.

Also assume no RoMac.

What about the 2014 season would change?

trick queston, you might never get a healthy sean lee. thats like saying "what if X player never sucked?" The answer is "who cares, you never saw it and it didnt happen"

Tho to be fair it happens when players change teams, because not all players are fit with every team. Tho his fragile body will follow him anywhere. I should point out, yes we would all love to see it, the question is should the Cowboys pay to hope to see it, I just would hate to see the team do it.

A Genie or Fairy Godmother would also be helpful, but those don't exist either.

I think teams would have had a much harder time throwing the ball on us. Carter had a great year, but you throw in Lee as well?

Lee has 11 interceptions in 46 games...

Idc what people say, when healthy, Lee is all-pro calibre. He is easily our best defender. Smart, quick, great tackler, great hands. Just needs to stay healthy

See that's the problem. He hasn't shown the ability to stay healthy. Lee is a top 5 LB when he plays. But you just can't rely on him an entire season.

Sean Lee healthy and on the field for an entire season?

Didn't know such a thing existed. Considering that he hasn't played a complete season since his junior season at Penn State.

Murray didn't show to stay healthy either, but he did this year. Other than the broken hand, but he he still played.
Lee could have his healthy year in 2015.

On a serious note, lee, and RoMac the whole season would make our LB tremendous
RoMac with a full off season and moving lee to weak side could make it work

That's true, but Murray was missing more like 2-3 games a year while Lee was missing like 9-10. Murray played 14 games last year and 16 this year. Lee has played 16 of the past 48 games. But I still have some faith that Lee can finally get it together and stay healthy. And I also feel that Claiborne can be a decent corner. Maybe I'm just crazy.

I wouldn't count out Carter too. I think he has as much physical ability as those two. Just not as much football IQ. I'd love to see Carter on the strong side defending passes and rushing the QB like Von Miller, McClain in the middle taking peoples' heads off, and Lee on the weak side being in the middle of every tackle.

What's it going to be then, eh?

Lees takeaways are missed. Plain and simple. Man has a nose for the ball.

We had plenty of takeaways this year.

Sean Lee would not have made a difference this season because mainly he would not have been available for most of it.

If he's healthy for the full year? It changes a lot. Big "if" though.
