if youre looking for DLaw for sack production then youre missing what he truly brings

the Man improves the run defense 10 fold.....

True but he is also good at getting pressure on the QB more so than Armstrong. DLaw is an overall upgrade to what he have been playing with. That is not a knock on any of the guys feeling in and they will still be a big factor in the overall rotation they Cowboys will be able to bring.

Depends on what stat you're looking at, but yards per game, TDs (yes 11 games) and some other show that he still is.

Anyway, if you think that Mahomes is just the average QB, then we don't have an argument anyway. To me he's still top notch and therefore it was a great game by our D. I'm not saying Dlaw shouldn't play, I mean he's payed a lot of money to do so. But the sky hasn't been falling so far without him.

He has to be a month away from any legit contribution though. After that sort of layoff he has an uphill battle to be in game shape this season.
You may be right.. but remember when he had this injury his rookie year he came back for the playoff game against Detroit and made a number of HUGE plays.. Including two sacks and a fumble recovery on Detroit's last drive to seal the game. The funny part when when Spencer stripped Stafford, Lawrence recovered the fumble, then fumbled it right back to the Lions.. Then got the sack, strip and recovery to seal the game a few plays later. Point being.. Lawrence should not need to be in game shape to have an impact if they use him in just a few key situations.

exactly.
it'll be harder to double lawrence with parsons and gregory.
#90 will give our team a major boost as we enter the final stretch.

I can't wait to watch this defense with Parsons able to line up outside shoulder of Lawrence or Gregory.. This means the offense cannot double team ANY OF THEM!!! Sack city here we come!

This again? He makes the rest of the line exponentially better because of the attention he commands. Him, Gregory and Parsons going after the qb at the same time would be a lethal combo
Attention he commands. Love your loyalty to the most overpaid D-End in football but pretty sure I’ve seen every RT handle him mano-e-mano with relative ease.

Yet provides more depth to the rotation and DLaw has been a very good player for defense. What Richard was asking him to do, DLaw did not look comfortable, he now lines up with hand in the dirt and I think he comes in and makes a impact. Take money out of the equation the guy can play ball and be a big impact to this defense.

Hes doubled more than half of the time. And we havent had another threat on the opposite side since Robert Quinn lol

That would be really weird if you didn’t believe it if you saw him on the field

He has been complaining about his play, his contract, his absence; now it will be his play again. Him and others grind the ax into needles.

I just know how bad you are at your predictions.
That proves that you aren't good at math. My predictions are T. Smith plays. Lamb might play. The Cowboys will beat the Raiders. They will be 8 and 3. Lawrence will play against the Saints. You have already said that the Cowboys will lose to the Raiders. Screw that. Go Cowboys!
