Key injuries in week 8

Demarco Murray and Sean Lee

Right before Demarco Murray got hurt, he was looking like himself again. He was breaking tackles gaining plus 5 yards per carry, and being productive. That Murray was missing for a few games, but then seemed to find his groove agains the Ravens, until he got hurt. Unfortunately he will be out for the second strait week, and miss a key game with the Giants. In the first match up he was amazing, getting over 100 yards to help the Cowboys beat them in New York. He will be missed this game. Many thought Jones would be a good answer, when he was also able to get over 90 yards against the Ravens, and he also got a touchdown. But against the Panthers he was just, ok. He wasn’t able to do much on the ground and only got some passes. He is really going to have to step it up to fill Murray’s shoes this week. It will be key to have a balanced offense against this New York defense.

Sean Lee is one of the best players on this new and improved defense. He is racking up tackles each week, and is very useful to this Cowboys defense. He is a leader for the team, his rookie year he showed who he his and why he deserves his starting spot. And he hasn’t showed any signs of weakness. Last year he even played with a hurt hand, showing his determination and passion for the game. And now he is out for this week, and he will be missed greatly. The defense has gotten into a rhythm now, they are all in sync and are one of the best defenses in the league. With him out this week against the Giants, the backups will need to step up big in order to fill his spot to keep the defense going.
