Time for Lawrence to step up

[CouchCoach]

The excuse some were making for him was the same we used to make for Ware, he's got no help. Well, Quinn has arrived and is more worrisome than Lawrence to an OC and QB so the time is now for Lawrence to take Rodgers out of his game.

I didn't say time for him to earn his money because that's a rather ridiculous assumption that paying him more makes him a better player. I just want him to be the same player he was when the OC and QB had to account for him and alter some of the things they wanted to do.

Demarcus Lawrence is the best D player on the team and it is time for him to show that because time is what Rodgers buys better than any QB in the game. He will miss Adams just like he misses Cobb but he's as good a spread the ball around QB as there is and it is time for Lawrence to announce his presence.

I agree, both Lawrence and Elliott, they were paid to be game changers and I'm not seeing it. Hopefully that changes soon, I'd rather be cheering for them than complaining that they're not earning their money.

Go Cowboys!

Edit, I'll also add that I didn't particularly care for how the both of them went on about their business to secure their contract

Time for a lot of players to step up, and the coaches as well.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

He will.....not that he's played bad but I see what you're saying. He needs to have more impact .......

 

[silvrNblue]

About ALL DLAW has done, is run his mouth about how big and bad and elite they are... well, proof is in the pudding now aint it...totally agree, we need to see Rodgers on his back the whole damn night!

 

[glimmerman]

This is one reason I wasn’t sure about paying him. He held out getting his shoulder surgery until we paid him. His rehab and healing are spilling over into regular season games. Further into the season than I thought.

He is either doubled every play or not healed up completely or laying back now that he got paid and getting that guaranteed money.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Yes he needs to have that Mack impact, we have that coming off of the other edge.

Quinn faced a lot of one-on-one blocking against New Orleans and took advantage of it. If he can do that, teams will have to choose who to double, which should benefit Lawrence at times. Lawrence's presence on the other side has definitely benefited Quinn so far. He's still got to beat those one-on-ones, but he wouldn't be getting them if teams didn't have to worry about Lawrence.

Maybe as soon as this next game, we'll see teams slide protection to Quinn's side instead of chipping or doubling Lawrence as often.

I never would have paid that much for him

DLaw is getting Khalil Mack money.

It is very reasonable to want Khalil Mack production. We aren't seeing it.

He has flashed, but has also disappeared way too much. Maybe he is still shaking off the offseason rust. But that excuse won't hold water much longer.

He needs to up his game. He talks a big game. It's time to back it up.

The war daddy got paid and went AWOL. That was a waste of money.

I wouldn't say a waste of money but based on production, overpaid. The rap on him has been he's really good the first 12 games but when crunch time and the playoffs arrive, he's a ghost. maybe that reverses this year because he's still a very talented DL, the best the Cowboys have.

He hasn't played a frontline QB this season, this next game is the first and he will be critical to the performance of the D against this QB.

Tank is NO WHERE NEAR the best player on the defense. LVE and Jaylon are both better than him. Quinn is outplaying him. Both corners are outplaying him. Hell Collins is outplaying him.

He got paid (that’s all he was interested in) and playing well is WAY down his list of priorities right now.

The red flags were there. That’s all I am going to say about that.

I give him a few more games first.

Me too.

I’m sorry but a $100M man doesn’t get a few games to right the ship. He should have been setting the curve.

Dak and Amari want to be paid too. But how they are approaching the issue is far different for Dak and Amari than Zeke and Tank. I wouldn’t have paid Tank. That contract has red flags all over it!!!
