Hope he does. Frankly, at this point, we might need him at DE.

Let's not expect too much from Gregory when/IF he's reinstated. It's going to a bit to before we can expect to see the impact from old Randy IMO. In fact, I'm not sure it's smart to count on Randy for anything until we see it and that's not hating or bashing him. Just reality IMOI......

And due to the ratified CBA feels like he’ll be here for good, via Calvin Watkins

Cowboys still trying to be cheap on defense with unreliable (Gregory, Irving, etc.) and unavailable (Lee, Vander Esch, etc.). It has not and will not work.

I’m all for hoping he makes good but now that he can smoke all the weed he wants whenever he wants, will he actually be on time for meetings and practices and not be stoned all the time?

I mean, it kinda seems like he was doing that before.

If he is no good then it will not matter if he is back. Of course we hope for it because he will wear the Star but I personally think he has missed too much time.

I mean, I'll take all the sacks I can get. Quinn's 10.5 sacks and Michael Bennett's 4 sacks (in only 9 games) and Maliek Collins' 4 sacks are out the door. Lawrence ought to bounce back and give us quite a bit better than the meager 5 sacks we paid him for last year, so that helps make up for some of it.

I think some people are hung up on comparing Gregory to the hype from when he was in college, as if he's useless to us if he can't fulfill his double-digit sack potential. But I say screw that. I'll take all the sacks he can give me. I know, he's only got 7 sacks in 30 career games (including playoffs). So the ship has probably sailed on him having the potential to be a 12-15 sack type of guy.

That said, the last time he played, he gave us 6 sacks in 14 games, playing only 45% of the snaps. Bump his snap count up to more in line with the 60-ish percent Quinn and Lawrence each gave us last year, and I could see him giving us a solid 8 sacks. It's not a sexy double-digit number, but I'm not gonna shoo him away just because he isn't living up to the hype from when he was in college. If Gregory gives us 8 sacks and Lawrence bounces back and gives us, say, 10 sacks, that would stop the bleeding a little bit.

And it's worth mentioning that 6-sack season he had came after a season where he basically didn't play. So there's a precedent for him having a productive season after a lost season.

I’ll say this. The last time he came back from a long suspension, phyically it didn’t take long for him to get there. I think he could be a major factor depending on if and when he gets reinstated.
