DeMarcus Lawrence continues rehab on his shoulder, but even while doing that, the Cowboys defensive end is thinking about getting a leg up on Von Miller.

The Broncos linebacker has talked openly about breaking Michael Strahan’s single-season sacks record. Strahan had 22.5 in 2001.

I think it's safe to say that no one would begrudge Tank his contract if he does break that single season sack record. Also safe to say that no one's going to lay down for him to break that record

 

[CF74]

Goals are good

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Lawrence is an elite rusher, but he’s not that kind of elite.

 

[glimmerman]

Go for it D-Law...

That sack record should have a big asterisk next to it. Between sacks not being an official stat for many years and the shameful dive Favre took to give it to Strahan.

Guys do it all the time to break records...not as obvious as that though.

Not saying you're wrong but can you give me an example? That one was so blatant.

It was an embarrassment.

It was an embarrassment.

Thank you. I was hoping I wasn't the only one who felt that way. My wife thought it was "sweet" and I wanted to throw up. Those records mean something man.

 

[jazzcat22]

Tank will break the record of most sacks in a game against that Wentz dude. Heck he may get both records in the same game, 24 total in the game.

I felt terrible for Strahan. It put him in a tough position publicly. Just really condescending of Favre to take a fall like that with the whole world watching.

Spot on.

 

[Beaker42]

Lawrence is an elite rusher, but he’s not that kind of elite.

I’d settle for not getting pwn3d in the playoffs.

 

[Hardline]

Every defensive lineman wants to break the sack record.
Just stop disappearing for a couple of games a year and average a sack or more a game.
And how about getting some sacks against the eagles. You haven't even gotten close enough to smell an eagle QB in your career yet.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Very unlikely but thatd be great. I'm expecting around 12 or so this season from him.

 

[sbark]

Maybe in a year or so when t.hill becomes a force at 3tech, somebody at the other side de also wrecking havoc

 

[CowboyStar88]

Tanks gonna have a monster year

 

[beware_d-ware]

I remember a game back in 2013 I want to say, when Calvin Johnson broke the single season yardage record. He was shooting to become the first receiver to make 2,000 yards receiving. Detroit, as usual, had nothing to play for in Week 17, so by the start of the second half, they went all out to get Johnson his record. And the defense wasn't going to let it happen. They triple teamed him as Stafford forced in pass after pass. By the end of the game, Megatron finished about 40 yards short.

That's a fair way to approach it IMO. If your teammates want to force feed you to push you over the top for a record, that's fine, but the opponents' job is to stop it. When the other team rolls over and become complicit is when the record is cheapened.

I felt terrible for Strahan. It put him in a tough position publicly. Just really condescending of Favre to take a fall like that with the whole world watching.

Knowing Favre, he probably thought he was doing Strahan a solid. And also knowing Favre, he probably didn't think things all the way through.
