Yeah if fans weren’t happy with Lawrence’s contract; at least Demarcus has been a double digit sack guy at one point…
You conveniently left out his sacks for this season and the fact he won three games for us (Carolina, Patriots, WFT) with big play sacks. I agree the Cowboys should not break the bank on him. I could see him getting a contract like the Bears gave Quinn because of the Cowboys tax. I don’t think we can match that or will.Is anyone else worried that we are gonna sink a lot of cap dollars into a 30 year old DE that can only muster 11 tackled in a make or break contract year?
That started when Jimmy Johnson didn't have many of BIG talented DL, so he started a rotation trying to wear down the Offensive lines with strength and quickness. Now most teams rotate the DL because of the success the Cowboys had in the early 90's.
If Jimmy would have had the DL talent that Landry had, he probably wouldn't have rotated them. Haley darn sure didn't rotate, but 270-300lb guys without the talent of Haley, and going against 330lb guys get worn down instead of the other way.
I am on board with signing Randy at 10 million per year as a situational pass rushing specialist. If we pay him 15 million per year or heaven forbid 20 million per year like he is a dominant 3 down game wrecker I will be pretty sad. D Law yesterday is a good example of what a true 3 down game wrecker looks like. Gregory is no where close to that IMHO.
ClassicNext start a thread about how many passing tds Gregory has
He’d have 3-4 more sacks if not for last-millisecond releases by QB’s.Strange thing to glom onto. He also has 6 sacks, something like 15 QB hits, 3 FFs and an Interception. He is an impact player.
On the contrary I hope he crushes it for the rest of the year. I hope him and D Law and Kearse carry this team all the way to the superbowl. We have an amazing mix of hungry young players and hungry veterans playing for their next contract. This is a real lightning in a bottle situation on the defense and I hope the offense can come around in time to take advantage. What I do not want to have happen is another early playoff exit and have the team thinking we can not survive without Gregory and Lawrence so we give them all the money and we lock ourselves into a bad situation with no way out.
I tried to compare Gregory to Quinn and said I would not give Gregory the contract that Quinn got. I was ridiculed. People said that Gregory is far superior to Quinn. I guess maybe I just don't get it. I guess I am supposed to put my love for the player ahead of my love for the team. It would make sense given that is how Jerry operates. Perhaps his style of leadership has spread all the way down to the fans.
Stuck by him through 47 suspensions, once he turns it on they decide to walk away?I thought they weren't gonna extend him?

He has done less with Lawrence around than he did before that. I don't understand that.
