Sack totals just vary man. When he had 14.5 two years ago and 10.5 last year think about it...those represent 15 snaps and 11 snaps collectively in the entire season.
Your right. I guess that’s my thing. To bring up his money is such a cop out. He was solid last year but it is a concern that his production seems to be slipping.
They obviously didn't.
Lawrence didnt have the sacks but he is one of the best all around DEs in the NFL. He's a SDE which has more responsibility then just sacks. His first responsibility to to beat a double team, and cover the edge vs the run, then attack the QB. He does it just about as good as anybody in the NFL. Recovering from a surgery, granted by his fault as he waited until his deal was done to have the surgery. But from what we saw it was more about his agent playing stupid. Because when Lawrence spoke with Stephen it got done quick.
LOL ..oh pleeeeaz. those DTs don't have anything to do with that RT that Dlaw cannot beat one on one.
now the excuses have went from shoulder,... to double teams ...and now to the DTs. .. which are the very same DT starters DLaw had aside with him in 2018 (Malik and A. Woods) when he had
another double digit sack season, .. and in the very same scheme, and under the same coaches he’s been with since Marinelli- Lett arrived on the scene.
When Dlaw is going against that RT, that's one on one block he just has to beat. when he's schemed inside, he has to beat the one on one vs the OG or get freed rolling on a stunt or twist.
Now you may be right about the recovery shoulder period, but what's complex is he had previously played with a bum shoulder and in according to his own words, for years.
but he declined in performance, after the surgery was done. and here's my very own excuse for Dlaw again, could that recovery period
and genius coaches did more than what people realized, that helped killed us even more so - such as strangely having the big impact stars of the DL (ala DLaw, Quinn) , actually out of the lineup
and on the sideline, while opponents are.inside the red zone scoring territory. WTH.!..
no DL rotation schemes should be designed to have your best players out and on sideline with opponents that critically close to scoring territory. - just makes no sense at all.
Yeah I like his game but for that money....I think you want more sacks than what he’s giving.
His rhetoric tells me his head is there..
His rhetoric tells me his head is there..
his play says not yet.
I just think his surgery was done too late in the season to give him enough time to get the deep healing needed.
I do not think his contract has anything to do with his issues.
We have to wait and see how this pans out come September.
Don't take a 3 month snap shot of the 2019 season in 2019 that was doomed to failure..
and let it permeate your ability to see.
People are trying to the same about Zeke in other threads.
Nonsense.
