I’d put him in the elite category. I’m not sure there is a single area where he is below average. Get him a better supporting cast and his numbers would see an uptick as well. Too easy for offenses to isolate a single defender of there isn’t another threat.
He's just one of those guys that's not gonna wow you with stats but he's too good for me to say he's average or subpar. The only issue anyone has with him is his sack totals.......but sack totals don't translate year to year. Some years they are going to be down. But what are you doing when you aren't getting those sacks? That's where he is better than most in the league IMO.

DLaw has performed at a high level all season long. It would be nice if the other guys would apply pressure up the middle or from the other side more.
That shows the Cowboys would be foolish to spend big on Gregory or Smith. Those are situational players, not 3 down players.

Time to stop the ignorance of placing this man in the underachiever category. He is not elite, but he is by far the best player on D and arguably a top 3 non-QB player on the team.

Salute, Mr. Lawrence.
hes been playing like this the last 3 games and rally all year very close a lot f pressures but it wasn't paying off..

also that rouging penalty was straight chit! it didnt happen.where that HS kid that ran the ref over, we need one of those LOL

i like how they throw flags for roughing the QB even ot it APPEARS a penatly not an actual one but hey that almost was a helmet hit..LOL is it anew penalty called INTENT :muttley::facepalm::lmao2:

Lawrence is the new Brandon Carr, better but more expensive too. Both players signed for more than their ceiling.

Its just so subjective though....IMO, no one has really earned their check....but if I gauge players based on what they actually contribute? That's a different ball game. I can't fault a guy for what Jerry and co. paid them.
To whom much is given, much will be required.

DLaw held out and got what he thought he deserved.....now produce

He has played much better that his detractors think. Same for jaylon. Our brilliant oc has also been maligned by the mindless. Only criticisms of jerry the gm tend to always be correct.

Oh, my, Jaylon? I don't see it.

If Demarcus Lawrence is your best player on D it underscores how horrible the talent on D is.

Didn’t he take himself out of the last play? He and the rest of the defense still look like a few plays away from being the worst cowboys defense ever...oh, wait...

Sad to say but Hot Botzs cost him a lot fans.......lol
I’ve never got that either
A player trying to market himself even if it was a poor job of it
Dlaw is a good player when healthy and a very complete player. But fans look at just one stat at DE

A good all around player and works hard
Fans only look at sack stats

Oh my, and such a meaningful play in the game.
