Can Irving get 10 sacks?

[darthseinfeld]

He already has 3 in two games. Anyone think he can hit double digits this year?

I think Irving can do whatever the hell he wants to do in this game. He is our most talented Dlineman and it's really not that close.

If he can be a little more consistent, I don't see why not. The issue with Irving is his odd number of snap counts he gets per week (His snaps should rise this year) and he seemed to get gassed at times last year.

But they said his conditioning was a lot better this year, and he's in his third season, so he might take that next step. He's looked good thus far.

It's possible. With Lawrence generating most of the attention, should help free things up for Irving.

Granted it's way too early to know what will occur with Irving the rest of the season... It's almost unbelievable we could potentially have two guys with double digit sacks on the season. Never thought it was possible heading into the year.

I’m excited about Irving and Tank. If Taco comes on we could be seeing a very solid dline. Add Collins and Crawford.

Its looking that way......I was initially hoping for 6....now? I Think this defense needs him to get to 10....

I think Lawrence is that right now, but Irving is a close second. I’m surprised to say it but our pass rush looks good. I wish we had a big run stopping 1 technique. However, we’ll be alright if our young secondary matures and our LB’s stay healthy.

I think we are starting to get to the point where we may need to raise expectations for this line. Maybe they are already solid? Or solid when they have Sean Lee and Hicthens at linebacker lol?

Im pleasantly surpised because at the beginning of last season I didn't see him as a true pass rusher. I thought he was going splash play run defender who may be serviceable as a rusher. I remember debating this with @Jstopper . Looks like I may have been wrong

My point is pure talent. Irving is on the same level as JPP (pre injury) or even Julius Peppers. Dude is a straight up freak of nature.

I'll wager an avatar change! that he's closer to
12 +sacks on the year than 9 - with anyone of reputable reputation on the forum, cuz' he's a dynamite rocker dude,that comes to play

 

[jwitten82]

He missed on a sack, he wouldve had 2 today. Hopefully he keeps playing at this level

 

[SlammedZero]

Irving looks like a monster out on the field. His shear size stood out to me on a few plays today. Imagine having that guy come barreling at full steam towards you. LOL

 

[Oh_Canada]

I know there were a few people who kind of scoffed at his return.

No sign of them in this thread.

You could be right about that.

 

[crashintonickdm]

Feels good to have a pass rush again

 

[LocimusPrime]

Absolutely he could!

I'd love the 2018 Dallas line to be: tank, Irving, Malik, and Ezekiel Ansah
Get rid of mayowa, maybe Crawford if we can't afford him

 

[okstateCowboy]

It will be expensive to keep both Irving and Tank. Have to do it though. I would imagine Crawford gets cut next season.

If Marinelli calls the correct rotations and is one step ahead.......I believe Irving can have 15 sacks .

Or Crawford resigns a much cheaper deal that has incentives built in. He has played well since he got healthy, but his contract is 6 MM next year (non guaranteed, 7 and 8MM in the following years). He might be kept at a 6MM salary if he keeps playing like he has in the last couple of games, mostly because we have plenty of cap room. But the odds are against it.
