Dallas Cowboys’ defense begins and ends with Sean Lee in the middle

Would an NFL season feel right if the Dallas Cowboys were not in the headlines? They are, but the Sean Lee story propels itself forward with yesterday’s suspension news, linebacker Rolando McClain will miss the first four games for violating the leagues substance abuse policy.

Last season McClain had 67 tackles and one sack. He was the leader of the group when Lee went down in May with a torn ACL. Lee had a promising year in 2013 with 68 tackles and was the leader of the defense, so it was a huge loss.
