Rookie defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence knows he hasn’t made much of an impact yet for a guy drafted 34th overall in last year’s draft.

He has yet to record a sack and has only one tackle for loss in five career games.

“I’m feeling like it’s my time,” Lawrence said. “It’s time for me to show up, time for me to go out there and start making plays.

“I feel like I know the playbook well enough that I should be able to go out there, do my assignments, get after the quarterback or be a run stopper.”

“He’s coming along well,” veteran defensive end Jeremy Mincey said. “He’s going to be a really good player, he’s just got to learn some small details.”

I hope he can come on strong to close out the season but for the most part this has been a lost season for Lawrence with so much time missed in camp.

well show up yea. but for the love of holy stale Halloween candy, sack someone!

on their side...

Now would be a good time.

Indeed....as someone said the other day, he looks light in the caboose. Powerful, effective edge rushing D.Ends in this league are built like a brick S-house in their lower torso, butt, etc... Suggs in Baltimore, DWare in Denver,etc....I think this kid is a little green and small. He needs to live in the weight room and blossom physically IMO.

 

[Risen Star]

Good on him but it's not really his time. He missed the installation period of the offseason. All that prep work at camp and the preseason. His time is next year.

It'd be great if he can do something now but it's not indicative of what kind of prospect he is if he doesn't.

 

[Bowdown27]

How bout you step up on Sunday. That would be a fantastic time to.

 

[theogt]

I had very low expectations, and he's even failed those expectations. He's basically non-existent.

well we've still got a long way to go before we really know what he can/can't do but in 5 games you would think he'd have shown a flash or two. he's talking, now let's see him walking. i'll go from there.

lol.. this sums up my feelings too. I'm very irritated we gave up a 3rd rounder for this guy too.

 

[RonSpringsdaman20]

speak with your play

 

[Flinger]

Rookie...
Injured...
No training camp...
5 games...
20 snaps per game - maximum...

Ridiculous and absurd expectations from the usual suspects
Unbelievable...

Yes D-Law... it most certainly is time. That would be just great.

Added coach Jason Garrett: “He’s getting better and better. He’s one of those guys that comes to work every day. He certainly has ability. He’s learning. He’s in a good environment with veteran players around him.

“He just needs to play more and hopefully we’ll give him a chance to do that as the season progresses.”

Pretty much what a lot of people have been saying.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Who?

 

[StylisticS]

I would think expectations of him would change after an 8 week setback.

 

[CowboyChris]

I thought DLaw would show some type of flash, i wasnt expecting him to come in and take the league by storm, but an occasional sack or hurry....something to show he can do it once he gets it all down.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Considering Selvie and Spencer haven't sacked anyone in recent memory, anything would be an improvement.
