8 games in I have yet to see DLaw show he's building off the playoffs. Should we be concerned? To not see much improvement at all is worrisome.

He and Mincey are easy to forget they still play. The front 4 was supposed to be dominant. Not so much

Dude bulked up too much. He doesn't have that quick first step he had a season ago. If he was a third or fourth rounder it would be fine because for the most part he's been solid against the run, but he's a second round pick we traded up for. One sack is inexcusable. Could've had Derek Carr. DEREK CARR. Let that sink in.

We needed a pass rush at the time and a DE. Not a quarterback.

Thing is, even last year, he didn't really have a quick first step. He had a couple of nice plays late in the year, but he was injured for a lot of it and even when he got back, he was a no show for weeks.

I think we'll be lucky if he ends up Anthony Spencer 2.0.

You can't play that game. Every draft has someone we 'could've' taken. Remember we weren't in the market for a QB last year. We needed an edge rusher.

Right. And the Cowboys have been very lucky in the 'couldve' had department. Teams could've had Dez. Teams could've had Romo. Teams could've had Tyron. Carr is not the last quarterback to ever come out. There will be more next year and the year after that.

With Lawrence...... I'm not going to judge him until year 3. That's when we should see the real jump.

Anthony Spencer is fine. Everyone can't be Demarcus Ware.

Who cares? The fact of the matter is this guy is right on the verge of being an elite quarterback. He might take the freaking Raiders to the postseason. He's special. We could've had him. Yeah others can say that too, but not every team is in dire need of a quarterback like we're to replace Romo. Just because you need an edge rusher doesn't mean you reach for one.

While it's good to wait till year 3, no player should be this much of a ghost in year 2. One sack in 8 games is completely unacceptable.

Well I don't think he's ghost. I've seen it before. He didn't have s training camp last season. This is his first full year with added weight. I expected more sacks. But I expected more from everyone on this team. It's hard to judge this team without a solid offense or quarterback. But if his future is one sack in 8 games then I agree that is unacceptable.

You know when you guys say this where do you get this from? Is it based on pure assumption? Scouting? Highlights? What is it?

Well I agree but using this logic this means Gregory too is a JAG?
