He had an excellent game last night and really great start to the season.

Blocked field goal and 1 sack (should've been 2 if not for Joseph's stupid face mask penalty).

Armstrong is definitely proving me wrong.

Best game of his career last night.

Anyone have extra mustard? I’m gonna need it to get this much crow down.

Love being wrong when it goes like this. Dude was all over the field last night making plays.

I thought he'd be an adequate run-down defender who'd give way to Williams or Fowler on passing downs, but he's actually been the better pass rusher. I know he's benefitting from the havoc Parsons is creating, but he's still taking advantage of it more than the others are.

He already has 3. I'd be shocked if he ended with 6. Dorance has looked great out there, along with the rest of that pass rush.

I do appreciate when people admit when they were wrong. Too many times posters squawk about something all off-season and are proven wrong and don't say a word.

I still don’t think Armstrong is that good. He may be better than I originally thought, but he’s still not great. I think he is benefiting from the Parsons effect. There is so much attention on Micah now that the other DE will reap the benefits. Has Lawrence ever been a +10 sacks a year guy? Now he gets 3 in one game. Has Lawrence improved his pass rushing skills or is he now seeing less double teams and chips from TEs and RBs.

Lawrence has gotten 10 sacks before. The problem was Lawrence didn’t have anyone around him to rush the passer.

Lawrence has had two seasons with 10-plus sacks (2017, 2018). He's only participated in all 16 games one seasion since then and I believe he played through injury that year. Of course, he did get hurt last night, so injury might just be part of who he is at this point in his career.

Dorance "don't call me Louie" Armstrong is taking advantage of this opportunity. He ain't getting paid with Lone Star Cards....making pretty good moolah... $6.5m per for two years. Cowboys getting their money's worth with him.
