Is Lawrence still a leader of this Defense?

[Coogiguy03]

You don't hear much from him these days, not sure if that's good or bad. He used to be more vocal, but I guess with Micah being here, he's kind of taken a back seat??? I couldn't see him doing that years ago.

You also have a guy like Kearse who is a good vocal leader in that locker room. THIS IS NOT A BEAT DOWN Lawrence post, just asking is he still seen as a major leader on that defense, and has he taken the back seat to allow others to be more vocal!

I realize his value to this team, and years he's done his thing here as a cowboy. He's well respected by all players on this team...

No. That would be #11.

Rosters have multiple leaders. Demarcus is a leader, most likely the leader of the defensive line. However, the overall defensive leader is Micah Parsons.

How would you describe and define a leader ? Someone who is vocal ?... Someone who revs everyone in pre-game hoorays ?
Someone who makes the signal calls for the defense ? Places players in position on the move pre-snap?
If not DLaw, who then is counted upon to be the leader for this team ?

If DLaw is supposedly a leader does the defense revolve around him ?
Frankly I admit that I no longer look for him for sacks and pressure.
Dlaw's best value probably still comes up in run defense.

He's a try hard that has to rely on techniques and savvy for sacks. It's far more about the younger buck that we have to count on for sacks.
Parsons, Armstrong, Williams and Fowler will easily be the front runners.

Judging by the pregame huddle ups we see in the Sounds from the Sidelines videos , I'd say he's still a leader.

In terms of tenure, especially among the d-linemen, he might be considered a leader. To me, a leader sets the example and his play sets the standard for others to emulate. Lawrence always seemed to be talking smack (albeit not lately), but could rarely back it up. So the real leader is Parsons; I think his effort, mettle and emotion inspires others to play better.

Can't even get double digits sacks and he is leading what again?????
Another OVER paid and Overvalued player of ours....when he's not injured that is.....

Good points, Micah has come in here and quickly became our defensive leader a spot Lawrence had for a few years.

Do you expect to see him gone next season

LOL,,, no.

 

[MyFairLady]

LOL the last time that tool was a "leader" for the defense he created the Hot Boyz and we had the worst defense in the history of the team.

 

[DallasEast]

This meme would be so much better with a picture of Kirk Douglas.

 

[Whyjerry]

Not even close. In my opinion he shouldn't be on the roster.

I thought Taco Charlton created the Hot Boyz moniker.
