The Cowboys may have found their bookend DE's

[Risen Star]

One of the positives out of this season is I'm stating to believe the Cowboys may have finally found two quality starting DEs for the future. Assuming Lawrence has turned a corner and not just playing for a contract and, of course, Taco continues to develop.

I just couldn't help thinking as I watched Taco play well down the stretch that this team's days searching for edge pressure are over. They still have work to do inside but the edges may be in better shape than it's been in years, in terms of starting players.

A lot of people have pointed out the two rookie corners and their future. Can't argue with that, they both look legit to me, but I'm more focused on the dogs that hunt. Lawrence was a revelation this year. The arrow is up on Taco and his skill set really is a perfect compliment on the other side.

Who agrees with me? Who thinks I'm just being an insufferable homer once again?

 

[Joe Realist]

Such a homer. Wonder if we can get Fletcher Cox from the Eagles?

 

[Vinnie2u]

We need a disruptive 320 lb DT to take on blocks and push the pocket. Taco es bueno.

 

[Parcells4Life]

Both are best at LE. Neither is the much needed speed rusher at RE

 

[Oh_Canada]

Huh?

 

[superonyx]

Don’t forget Randy Gregory.....















Haha

Who is Seattle’s speed demon? Or the giants in 2007? Osi wasn’t a speed guy being drafted at 6’3 279. Let’s stop this myth. While I would like to draft a speed rusher this year for versatility on the dline it’s not a necessity.

Well...you are at least one of those two things....

It's not Cox that he wants but Wentz. Cox would be a nice consolation prize though.

 

[Proof]

here's hoping!

I like what i'm seeing out of taco, just hope it continues and he puts on some muscle. Also hope D Law can continute the trajectory.

Agree with this.
Now let’s beef up the interior of this d line and add a couple of thumper linebackers and the defense is in better shape than it’s been in years.

Christian Wilkins from Clemson is close enough.

Agree with OP. Happy with Taco's progress. Lawrence is legit if his back doesnt act up again. I am forever the optimist on Gregory. Can never have enough.

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

I think Law moves to RE next year if they intend on starting Taco

 

[The Quest for Six]

BINGO!!

 

[RS12]

I dont think so. I dont buy Lawrence long term for many reasons, and Taco has a lot of proving to do.

Who doesn't believe it's really you?

DLaw Is coming off a couple of back surgeries and this is the first year he’s been consistent. His back has acted up some this season and who knows how he’s going to perform once he gets paid. A lot of players have big seasons during contract years then fall off. His back situation concerns me but we have to go forward with him. There’s talk that Irving could be gone after this season which is surprising to me. You have to like what we have in Irving and DLaw if they can stay healthy.

Too late.

lol, yea, I actually thought about giving him a "like" on his post but I didn't want to bite the bait too fast in case his account got hijacked.
