D-Law has been impactful beyond sacks; which can be an overrated stat. He has steadily improved coming off shoulder surgery and has made more than his share of plays in the running game. And he's still applying consistent pressure.

The attention Lawrence draws has helped Quinn get his stats. Not saying D-Law can't do more. Just saying let's not get caught up in stats. (Stats, by the way, seem to mean nothing when it comes to Dak but they mean everything for Tank. Hmm....).

Misleading, he's not having a bad year. It's just one of those years he's just not getting there, it happens to even the elites. He has the pressures/hurries, and is great against the run.

Sorry, no misleading stat here.....he was hyped and paid as a sack master and he's failing, as expected. Even with another better pass rushing sacker on the other side, Lawrence has been a failure, other than diss a kid fan who was asking for an autograph.....Just another low class, over-paid, overhyped Cowboy player failing to live up to his performance expectations.

You obviously want sacks, but it doesn't tell the whole story - if he's opening things up for Quinn to get to the QB, why complain? It's not like he's god awful either, again, he has the pressures and hurries, he's great against the run - I can go through and point out multiple DEs that have these random seasons where they just can't get to the QB and their sacks are down.

JJ Watt went from 20.5 sacks in 2011 to 10.5 sacks in 2012. Obviously D-Law isn't JJ Watt, but you get the point - this stuff happens. I'd agree with you if it seemed he wasn't making an impact anywhere, but he's still impacting the game in a major way.

Yes, he has sucked this year for as much as he held out for, and there is no excuse. Sorry, Lawrence hasn't been worth what he has been paid so far.....maybe he will get some non-impactful sacks in the next 4 games to pad his stats and make us all feel better.

Being able to disrupt plays, hurry a QB, pressure a QB is just as important and sometimes those things don't show up on the stats sheets.

That was what Dallas lost in Tyrone Crawford; not a lot of stats, but the dirty work he did inside really helped others guys put up stats
