Cowboys 2015 Opponents

It's a perfect spot for him. It's the least demanding LBer spot in this defense and I think he would fit in nicely in that spot. Hitchens has been so good against the run when he has gotten the opportunity to play. I'm completely comfortable with him in that spot.

You take on blockers a lot at SAM he looks much better in space when attacking.

He still has big problems shedding blocks.

So a rolled up ankle is an example of wearing down.

And I don't think he is a good SAM candidate, but come on.

It's a symptom of being weak and/or out of position, just like Sean Lee's injuries. Like Marion Barber, Hitchens is a rotation player, not a full timer. At least not yet.

Sometimes the things you pull out really make me scratch my head. I'd love to hear all the ways that these two completely different players are similar.

They played/play with a passion that's not sustainable, at least for their bodies. Barber ran hard and would die. Hitchens plays all out and with his frame it's only a matter of time before he gets hurt. Sean Lee is the same way, except with even better instincts.

When you play harder than your body can take, you get hurt. I see that in Hitchens. I saw it in Michael Irvin and Dez Bryant. Fortunately both of them had the physique to improve and learn to stay NFL healthy. I'm not sold that either Hitchens or Lee do.

That's bullshit bullshit I bet you don't even remember how he was hurt.

He got rolled up on because he was weak?

Using this logic Martin was weak and out of position as well.

Don't question the injury voodoo!
