Pass rush improves without Soft Taco

[CowboyRoy]

Taco needs to remain on the bench or wherever he was. The line and the defense is much better off without him.

94 is a heck of a player when he actually gets a reasonable amount of snaps. And yes, he's better than Taco against the run too. 94 often tackles RB's from behind which is evidence of his elite speed. As long as 94 stays healthy and drug free he should be the full time starter there and play as many snaps as Lawrence.

If Gregory could just stop getting hurt and smoking weed. That would be great.

Hopefully Taco can turn All Pro in a year or two like Byron Jones did. But it's looking like he was a major bust.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Just wait until his contract year....... we'll see double-digit sacks

I trust our soft Taco more than I trust Randy Gregory

Taco is a left end. The problem is we have Dlaw over there and he ain't going anywhere. Taco is a very good run stopper right now that and gets pressure but doesnt always get home

 

[Clove]

Don't know what you saw but I didn't see wall to wall defensive line pressure.

Gregory looks like he is used to playing football again. We've lost to Matt Ryan every single game we've played him. It's time to get a win.

Knowing Jerry Jones, DeMarcus Lawrence will be an Eagle next year. Because he doesn't play offense.

Right now, he's a rotational player that allows Crawford to play inside. Crawford had to spend a lot of time at right end Sunday night because Charlton is injured. Charlton also had to spend more time as a pass rusher while Gregory was out. So we need all of our guys.

Frankly, I'm happy we have Charlton to rotate with Gregory. I don't view it much differently than Armstrong rotating with Lawrence. They give them plays off and keep Crawford inside where he's a better fit rotating with Collins, Woods and Reid/Ross (which will eventually be Irving).

Now, obviously, I'd prefer that Charlton turn out to be as good as Lawrence, but I don't really care who steps up and provides that kind of pass rush as long as it is provided. There's room for rotational players on this roster, too.

He had some good plays against a very good left tackle. I hope he can build on it. Imagine our defense with someone demanding the offense's attention on the right side the way that Lawrence does on the left.

Me too. He has the tools.

I think he will pay him now. Hes too good of a player

Minnesota Vikings fans, introducing your new left defensive end to complement Everson Griffen, DeMarcus Lawrence from Boise State!

 

[davidariust24]

Don't know what you saw but I didn't see wall to wall defensive line pressure.

If he did we'd be paying him to dollar. He was going against one of the best left tackles in the league in Peter's, who is still very good at his age

And get his tps reports in on time, and come into the Star on Saturdays. Mmhmm...yeeah.

Dallas beat a Ryan led Falcons team in 2009. Sacked him 4 times, picked him off twice and forced him into 2 fumbles.

 

[big dog cowboy]

97 was hurt. But it was good to see 94 playing well.

Taco is a good player. Not a great one, but a good one. He can still get better too. David Moore was saying in the pregame that Taco does a lot of little things that really help this D. I like it when we have all of these guys healthy and rotating in there.
