He actually hasn't been. He's been invisible in his time here up to this point.

Naw. You are looking too much at names and not enough at the actual play on the field. Armstrong is NOT a world beater. But he’s solid. That’s about all that Tank has been as well.

No I'm looking at actual production. Armstrong has been here 4 years and he's done almost nothing up until Sunday where he made a couple of plays. To equate him to Lawrence is laughable.

No he hasn't been visible in games he's played. He's played in 51 games. He now has 3.5 sacks and 4 TFLs.

You can't make believe these guys into productive players.
Sounds the same kind of performance as D-Law. Only difference: one is cheap; the other is way overpaid.

You saying Armstrong can't get six sacks a year? Or are you saying he's no good against the run?

It’s true. Tank has been coasting since signing his contract. Tank is going to be chopped or traded this off-season if he doesn’t get his act together and SOON.
I'm not arguing what happens in the offseason, that's complete conjecture. That also doesn't change he's a top 5 DE. Anyone in their right mind would want that on their defense. Especially when there's a postseason chance.

Lawrence has played outstanding so far on IR. Lol.
5 starts in 4 years is WAY worse.

Everyone wants Armstrong to play great, but to suggest he's the equivalent to Law is insane. People conveniently have short memories because they think they're the authority on contracts.

He would be a top 5 DE if you are talking about our team only. If you are talking league wide he was a top 5 DE once and only once and that was his contract year. Since then he has been the highest paid member and the so called leader of the worst stretch of Cowboys defense in our entire team history. You seriously need to look around the league. He wouldn't even sniff the top 20.

Armstrong has gotten better each year. The dude deserves luv. Many here were wrong about him. Myself included.

This guy has pretty much played as well as Tank for a fraction of the price. I’m not really an Armstrong fan, but he has been a decent player at good value to the Cowboys.
Let's not go that far. He had a sack against a rookie who has struggled all season long.

The Cowboys have 18 sacks in 9 games. That is pretty mediocre. It has to improve or the top teams will expose this defense.
Stat warrior. Most realize it’s not all about sacks. Pressures are just as important (if not more so because they sometimes result in turnovers) and we’ve been pretty good there. Not the greatest in the league, but pretty good.

Lol, ok. This is just all sorts of wrong.

Pretty good? Yep. Top 5? No.

Speaking of memories, when was the last time Lawrence made a splash play?

Last season, when he wasn't injured. And, without anyone solid like Gregory or Parsons. Do you want game recaps?
