So, It seems that Lawrence has been having problems all season after back surgery last off-season. Will probably have to go under the knife again ... so his replacement is a 6'4" 290 lb DE. Gotta be strong side at that size, so I guess its Mayowa again this week, with who exactly backing him up ?
Way to back into the playoffs

Not even if it helps him heal?

If he's hurt then he obviously can't play but my point is he hasn't looked very good this season and his health is just another negative to what has been a disappointing season for him. Has only one sack and hasn't shown much of a burst either due to all the weight he's put on or he's not healthy. Another thing that's hurt him is not having a viable pass rusher opposite him.

I'm not surprised.

We probably won't even notice that he's not playing. It's not like he's been all that disruptive when he is out there.
This was my question, will we even notice plugging in one JAG for another.

Been a disappointing season for DLaw and this is about the time of year when Lee starts having injury issues.
I agree, he has underwhelmed, but I kind of expected it. he is LDE and not a RDE. last year he played against RTs and when not double teams, he was able to make plays, get sacks. on the left side he is going against LTs that are more athletic and better so he is having trouble.

Need DEs next year. Comeon don't wanna hear that we'll be just fine with the same group plus some obscure 3-4 year vet we sign for like 3-4 mill a year.

Off season needs
  • Draft RDE
  • Draft LDE
  • Free agent RDE
  • Draft LB
  • Draft LB
  • Free agent LB
  • Draft CB
  • Free agent CB
Then OL, TE, and WR

Let's do what the Giants and Broncos did and get similar results.
I've been beating the table top all year that the 2017 draft should be all defensive players. Our offense is good enough to win a Super Bowl already.

Well, that sucks but we went 3-1 without him this year already. Let's just hope it's not a real serious injury.

At first thought, I'd think this is a huge loss. On second thought, who (team) has actually game-planned against D-Law specifically? No one, I would think.

Draft DEs this April, Jerry. Please.

Can't wait till this guys a free agent next year. One of the most overhyped players I've ever seen. He's a bust when you consider we gave up a 3rd to get him. Rather have ekuban.

Have you checked the standings lately?

Dallas has a better record than both of those squads.
