No, not that Tank! Lol



Straight stud. Imagine him with a strong supporting cast around him.

I have it on good authority he needs to be cut
I read it here so it has to be true

Interesting that Isiah Stanback on Talkin' Cowboys was of the opinion that D-Law needs someone better than himself on the other side to get the best out of him

Or maybe he betters the talent on the opposite side of him? Quinn lit it up with sacks last year, got a big contract and has 1 this year. Who knows, but Tank isn't a quick twitch speed rusher which tend to be the players that get more sacks.

not to pee in your cereal but he's on pace for 6 sacks and 60 total tackles....while i do agree that he could do better with a stronger surrounding cast, that type of production is not in alignment with his current contract.

Additionally, his weakest games were against the best teams - rams, seahawks and cardnials - he had 0 sacks and 6 total tackles while his best games were against the weakest teams...

My point here is not that he's a bad player, more so that he is just not playing up to his contract and his "good" play is mostly coming against weaker teams. Obviously, you have to play who is on your schedule but hes not playing like a stud.

"Only 60 tackles".

The current DL leader in tackles is on pace for 70.

Again, thinking that's bad production is silly. He's currently top 5 amongst DL

I was about to rip you a new one!!! Lol

Maybe tomorrow? Haha

dont agree.

You have to pay elite talent.

Does no good if the other guys around you completely suck. Dlaw gets paid but is on one of the worst defenses in history. Mack gets paid and looks great on an average defense. Donald had a good year when he had help but that defense is nothing to be feared. What good is Dlaw beating his man if the play was run to the other side for a 1st down? Good players at multiple spots is way better than 1 elite player.

its ok we don't have to agree, you think he's great and performing at the level expected of his contract, whereas I think he's paid like a top DL and he's on pace to only have 6 sacks for the season which sucks and not in alignment with his contract.

its ok, bottom line is our team is garbage and hes the best of the garbage on defense
