So your judgment of Lawrence's level of play is whether the team wins. Seems a bit unfair but to each their own.
It's a team sport. Every Player, every Coach, anybody associated with the team should be "judged" according to how the team performs. However, not solely. I am pretty sure you don't need this explained but since you seem to like to ignore the obvious, I will explain it again. He's not having a great season statistically. So, if you are going to say that the reason he is not having a great season is because he is doing things that allow other players to enjoy a great season and make plays, then that's gotta show up in things like team success. I'm not seeing that so I don't buy that argument. So no, it's not as simple as you paint it and I don't believe it's unfair. I didn't bring up this point, I simply responded to it.
His ability to play his position at the level he plays it at. Numbers don't necessarily reflect whether or not someone is playing well. I'm sure there are several offensive tackles who would disagree with your opinion that he's not playing well.
Those Tackles are welcome to step forward and make their opinions known. I haven't seen them as yet.
Winning is a team stat. Football is a team game. I base my statement on a understanding of football, the defensive concept, and his role in it.
Well, my understanding of this game is that we are a losing team right now, today. The defensive concept and his role in that did not produce enough wins to be able to beat a terrible team last night. I mean, those are that facts.
You're not seeing him beat his man? Pressure the QB? Or are you just seeing 17-6 and thinking it's all his fault?
Last night, I saw him get two pressures, no sacks and miss multiple tackles. He was playing against a terrible Offense, against backup players. I think he was playing across from Vaitai last night? That's not exactly an all world RT. He should be having much bigger games, especially against that OL, but it didn't happen. I don't think you need to look at the score to figure out what happened last night. You tell me, the best player on our Defense, where did he show up last night? What did he do to have impact? You apparently watched the game as well, what did you see? Truth be told, I saw a better game out of him last night then I've seen in most games from him but it still was not what I would expect from a guy who is supposed to be the player that can bring it home for you.
