Devin Street and Demarcus Lawrence

[Irvin88_4life]

D. Lawrence really came on in the playoffs, then we switched his position to LE. He should have played RE today with Gregory, Mincey, Hardy out.

Great point. He missed training camp last season now he is learning new position. He will improve especially with Hardy, Gregory and Mincey getting back

Two of the most disappointing young players on the roster.

I had really no expectations of Street.

Lawerence is a bit disappointing. But he really is not getting much help with Gregory, Hardy and Mincy all out so far.

 

[Garrettop]

This thread should include Clutts in the title......................

Yeah, the only time I ever notice Clutts he is missing blocks or getting blown up at the point of attack.

I wonder if Butler gets the start next week

Didn't he get the start this week?

Skins 4th rounder this year, Jamison Crowder, has already done more than Street.

We need to draft another receiver.

Players develop at different paces. For instance Hankerson could do NOTHING in Washington and he's found his way on to the field for the Falcons.

Someone else mentioned it, but moving Lawrence to the other side really stunted him. He is seeing a ton of chip blocks from TE's and is playing more of a run first orientation. He is ok on the left in spot duty, but he needs to be on that weak side. Once we get everyone back a rotation will be great for him. He's had to play almost every snap this season.

Devin Street... I defended this guy. The coaches defended him. Dez defended him. At some point, however, you have to start making pays. If he still can't get separation, then there is really no use holding onto the guy. Brice Butler is already getting hgis reps.

some of you guys are really, really amazing.
like the guy who said he can't figure out why lawrence is on the roster.
or the one who said lawrence "might be the most overhyped cowboy player ever."
you guys are a piece of work. your emotions do the talking for too many of you, like a teenage girl angry at her parents.

What is it that you think Street should have done?

All of his routes were past 10 yards and Weeden was not going to throw past 10 yards even if Dez was in the game.

Street is the best run blocking WR on the team.

Watch his all 22 he never gets a clean break off the LOS. They punk him every time. Twill is a better run blocker.

 

[KJJ]

I never expected much from Street, but I think I'm ready to stop hearing what a "steal" of a pick Lawrence was.

Most seemed to think Lawrence was a reach due to the Cowboys being desperate for a pass rusher after releasing Ware who's still a better pass rusher than what the Cowboys currently have. Ware's 3.5 sacks this season is only 1.5 sacks off the Cowboys team total.

 

[Baileyneverfailey]

Lawrence hasn't been very good, but I think he'll be fine as the other guy. As in, when you have guys like Hardy and Gregory on the other side of the line, they slide protection their way and he can benefit from that. I don't think he's ever going to be a star, but not every guy has to be.

Could be that I am wrong, but I think DLaw will be better as the season progresses.

 

[Cowboy06]

why are they still on the roster is what I cant figure out

Second year and we are already wanting to get rid of them? No three year rule? Again as another poster said, look at Dunbar.

 

[Cowboy06]

Could be that I am wrong, but I think DLaw will be better as the season progresses.

I agree, especially when we receive more line help.

I bet this is causing a mental conflict for the PFF worshipers.

Street is the best run blocking WR on the team.

So was Roy 'oops I dropped it" Williams. How did that turn out?

In short don't believe the hype.

As fans we do it every year and most years we're disappointed.

 

[LucaBrasi]

we should cut everybody. Lawrence I thought was one of the few that did ok against the run yesterday. He's been close in all 3 games at getting to qb. He's played about 10-12 NFL games, I'm willing to wait before I toss him overboard.

Devin Street was a 5th round pick. I guess most in here thought that meant he was the next Julio Jones. He's not very good, but that's exactly where he was drafted - as a marginal prospect.

 

[Everson24]

After re- watching the game, It seems that Hitchens,Church and Russell were really bad against the run. We also may have just been out-schemed by Atlanta as well.

 

[Gameover]

Could be that I am wrong, but I think DLaw will be better as the season progresses.

I don't think he was bad yesterday. Crawford and Law were overwhelmed by an elite offense and they weren't good enough to stop them. Julio Jones is great. Best receiver in the league imo, but that first TD was totally unacceptable. That was all on our secondary. No way he should he have scored on that play. No way! Lawrence had nothing to do with that TD.

What about the 3rd down scramble by Ryan? Cowboys had good pressure, where was a LB or S to make the tackle after he escaped from the pocket? That has been problem all pre and regular season. Once a QB escapes pressure... nothing but daylight.
