Once we get Quinn and eventually Gregory, this DL will be awesome. We're lining up a bunch of DT's and Tank on all downs.

In somewhat of a reversal, the D's aren't as good as the O's to start the season and it used to be the reverse. I haven't seen any real standouts in the first two games but that guy that some seem so happy to let walk, Lord Byron, has been the best I've seen.

The D won't see any real weapons until they get NO and GB, I'd wait until then to see where they are.

Gotta check ourselves and remind us that we're barely into the season or we'll be talking DAL-SF in the NFCCG like the old days.

All through training camp, we've heard how deep our DL are (so much so we have to keep 11). They've been underwhelming. DLaw included.

A lot of shade being thrown around about my man D-Law around here (see below). So for those who only like looking at the stats:

Through two games:

D-Law
0.5 sacks | 3 QB hits | 1 FF | 0 TFL

Aaron Donald
0 sacks | 2 QB hits | 0 FF | 1 TFL

K Mack
1 sacks | 1 QB hit | 1 FF | 2 TFL

Von Miller
0 sacks | 0 QB hit | 0 FF | 0 TFL












Give my man some time
People like to complain about everything!! I only complain about Garrett.

Well, we’re just hoping he is able to show up now before he pulls his usual disappearing act in November/December and playoffs

In D-Law, I'm seeing a DE who's rusty and may need time to get his mojo going. Here's hoping he'll return to form for the Saints and beyond. o_O

Or your expectations for "living up to a contract" are ill conceived.
Really?

He's making $21M a year. What should my expectations be? Same as an UDFA? A mid round pick? A street FA?

He's paid like a dominant player is paid. I was glad when he was signed. But now I expect results commensurate to his deal.

Again, he is still ramping up after doing nothing in the offseason. I'm hoping of seeing him being the double digit sack guy he should be soon

I am not familiar with the young people lingo

Is saying "I wish our star DE would sack the QB" shade?

If so, I apologise for throwing this shade all up in here.

So me saying that Lawrence is "playing well" but that I'd like to see more from the highest paid DE is throwing shade at him?

OK. First, I really don't care that players on other teams are not performing. I am focused on what the Dallas players are doing. D-Law is all mouth right now and is not performing better than his poorly paid teammate.

He should be held accountable for his sub-par play. Throw in his salary, Dallas got hood-winked. Every player on the line should look in the mirror at their lack of effort and improve. If D-Law is the leader then he should lead. He should start by dominating his individual opponent, accumulate more sacks, make more tackle for losses and create more turnovers. Is it too much ask him to "do his job?"

He gets paid like a superstar therefore he should play like a superstar.
X a million.

I would not be saying a word about DLaw if not for his own words and actions. Every time you want to defend DLaw, think about this: HE HELD HIS OWN TEAM HOSTAGE, REFUSING TO GET NECESSARY SURGURY.

He put himself under the microscope. If he didn't want to be there, he should've gotten the surgury done much sooner and quietly negotiated a contract around 18 mil/season. Then, no one would be complaining. He made his own bed, his only defense is to get in it and start sacking QB's.

To me this proves the value of playing in the pre season. It bothers me that players are opting to not play during pre season and coaches are allowing it and then taking 2-4 weeks of regular season games to work out the rust. Work out the rust in the pre season so you hit the ground running when it counts. SMH
