Fed up with D-Law

[TheMarathonContinues]

It tells me that the Rams won.

Ok. You're just arguing to argue at this point.

 

[Verdict]

D Law is a good litmus test for football eye, IMO.

Dude is good & motivated. He's not taking plays off and opposing coaches game-plan him. He was winning the edge all game. LA was getting the ball out of Goff's hand very quickly, so not sure what ya'll are expecting.

He had a bat-down, got the pressure on 3rd down that led to the missed FG, & was getting doubled/chipped that opened things up for Smith among others.

He may have got caught up in some of that misdirection in the run game, so that can be a legit gripe.

I agree he’s a good litmus test, but for a different reason than you suggest. It helps separate those who are objective and those who make excuses.

It is almost universally accepted that Tank is not putting up numbers. Teams didn’t just suddenly start playing Tank differently because he got paid. Opposing coaches don’t go look at contracts and say “man we need to game plan this guy differently because he just got paid!!!!

Do you think Mack or Donald or the other top flight players we’re/are not getting as much attention as Tank is? To think otherwise is folly.

Tank SUCKED last year. Most said it was because of his surgery (which was HIS CHOICE) but regardless, he did not perform well.

This year he should be healthy and has much better players around him. He needs to shut up and go perform AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.

The criticism of Tank is warranted. He needs to step up and be the dominant player he is paid to be.

 

[Verdict]

He cried about his money and being disrespected for 2 years and as soon as he gets paid he disappears.

The players that are overly vocal about being paid usually fade into obscurity once they have been paid.

Ya'll just keep on embarrassing yourselves. Peep the similar numbers from all three in 2019

Here are two year numbers for all top paid DE & OLBs.

 

[Verdict]

Why would somebody say that it's not Lawrence's fault? He and his agent played the holdout card. He could have agreed to a lessor amount if he had wanted to. He could have gotten surgery and not waited, which is used as reasoning, as to why he was not in shape, the past few seasons. I actually do think he bears a substantial amount of responsibility on this one.

People make excuses for these guys to the point of absurdity. I get Tank is not the only guy on the field. But man, he has been on the back of a milk carton since he has been paid.

Is it just me or is everyone blaming the offense, Prescott, the HC and everyone except the people and one individual that really deserves some scrutiny.

D-Laugh the one individual who 3 days ago ran off his mouth again saying how proud he was off the preparations of this team. He couldn’t wait to get on the field, which was fairly obvious given the enthusiasm he showed on the first play.
That’s it that’s all for D-Laugh as he accounted for 1 tackle all game.
Now I’m sure some of you are going to crawl out of the woodwork and defend his play... he was double and triple teamed after all...

This is the guy that delayed getting necessary surgery on his shoulder till old Jerrah paid him the big bucks.

What has he done since then, nothing 5.5 sacks last season.
All this clown is capable of doing is posting selfies of himself with all the toys he’s bought since his big payday.

He is a big part of the Dallas Country club... all talk and no action.

yes there are many wrongs with this team but I think a DE with his supposed skill set. My expectations are set a little higher.
