Insane.

I'm not seeing it. Lee is on the downhill side of his career and injury prone. Hitchens has improved his play and Jaylon is still a question mark even though the last 2-3 games he played well.

Can someone please give WH his glasses back.

Hitch is a nice player for us. And he continues to develop. But we have seen what happens to this defense when the General is gone. We can excel with Hitch gone.

I get it's not really worth arguing about. Dallas doesn't have the cajones to take Hitchens over Lee. I get that and reality is Lee is the better player overall. But, for as good as he is, Dallas is (if my math is correct) 22-22 w/o him in the lineup and 45-40 with him. They went 12-4 in 2014 when Lee missed the entire season and Hitchens in his place. Point is, Lee is not irreplaceable, despite last season's struggles which are fresh in everyone's mind.
