Ed Note: Heavy GIFs coming....patience.
Over the first 11 games of the season the Cowboys linebackers, aside from Sean Lee, had combined for two sacks, one pass deflection, and very few impact plays. In fact, no linebacker except for Lee had even accounted for as many tackles as Barry Church after 11 games despite the fact that Church missed four weeks with a broken arm. Of course the fact that Anthony Hitchens, Justin Durant, and Damien Wilson split playing time plays a role in that, but when considering that Lee has barely missed a single defensive snap all season illustrates the lack in trust the coaching staff has in any of the linebackers behind Lee.
