What did you say when Demarcus Lawrence fumbled?

[CyberB0b]

I want to know what Wilcox was saying to him, lol.

 

[tyke1doe]

I didn't say much, but my dog let out a pretty big howl when I kicked her.

That's something literally only a pee wee player would do or someone who is in their first year of playing or watching.

That doesn't happen in high school.

Going forward it tells me he's not a very smart player. There's mistakes and then there's what he did. Inexcusable. I'm still mad and don't want to have to rely on him going forward.

Exactly.

I yelled "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOIN? THAT'S THE GAME YOU @#$%&-ing IDIOT!!!!! WE TEACH THAT IN THE THIRD GRADE!!!!!

Let's hope that's his Lett moment, and he grows up.

 

[rwill784]

I threw my sandal at the wall and called him every name in the world

 

[JS22]

I think I about died of a heart attack after throwing out a handful of f-bombs.

I just kept yelling to get him on the field again... I knew, if given a chance, he'd do everything in his power to make up for it! HE DID!!!

"WHAT THE BLEEP ARE YOU THINKING ROOKIE!!!!???? JUST FALL ON THE BLEEPING BALL!!!!"

My friends and I were jumping and standing over the Spencer sack and fumble...they turned their backs and celebrated. I saw DLaw bend to pick it up and said, "No, just fall on it" (knowing we'd run 3 times, use up their timeouts, kick the FG to give us a 7 point lead, and give them less than a minute to try and tie)...but when he picked it up cleanly and put it away, I started celebrating again, and just like that....it's out again and the Lions were on it. My friends didn't see that part...we were all sick...I couldn't really speak or take in what had just transpired.

Even after DLaw came back on that 4th down and ended the game, I never really felt the same...I was still sick to my stomach for a couple of hours.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Are you kidding me?

Exactly.

That was my first words.

Then I kept saying "Don't let us lose this game cause of that."

When he got that sack, strip, and recovery I about blew the roof off my house.

I can't even tell you exactly what was said because this board would remove most of the words anyway. lol

I know I was screaming with a primal howl. I thought for sure we would not overcome that blooper. Teams rarely do. My head still hurts. Where's the Tylenol?

I will get banned if I do so

My reaction was caught on camera... can u guess what clip it was??

 

[Cowboy Brian]

I said we should cut him on the spot.

Overreacted, slightly.

 

[KJJ]

My reaction is on the game thread I said "D Law you idiot!" and began cursing out loud. I was already in a rotten mood with the way the game was going and early in the 3rd quarter my massage chair that I bought a few months ago stopped working. Now I have a $4500 recliner.

 

[IlliniNation]

I punched the bean bag chair my 3 year old has and screamed. My 3 year old then punched the love seat and screamed. My wife then freaked out about controlling myself in front of our child. Claims she isnt going to be anywhere near our home next Sunday from noon to 3:30.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

I couldn't believe it. This guy instead of sealing the W wants to put on moves like Barry Sanders? I was livid but what was interesting is that too much was at stake to get too depressed. For some reason I thought the defense would find a way. We just had to win this game. We had come to far. Glad he redeemed himself.

 

[MagicMan]

What he said....

 

[remdak]

I said, "I just know he will get another sack on 4th and 2, cause a fumble, and recover it himself".

I want to know what Wilcox was saying to him, lol.

From MMQB with Peter King

DeMarcus Lawrence is 22. An edge rusher from Boise State picked in the second round last May, Lawrence hadn’t had a sack in seven games during an injury-marred rookie year. But he was on the field with the season on the line, and he watched as Anthony Spencer, at the two-minute warning, sacked Stafford. The ball skittered out of Stafford’s grasp, and there it was at the Detroit 24, and… well, Lawrence takes up the story.

“I just picked it up, and the first thing I thought was, ‘Score!’ ” Lawrence said from the Cowboys’ locker room.

The first thing Detroit offensive lineman Garrett Reynolds thought was, “Knock it out of his hands!” Which Reynolds did—and the Lions recovered.

What have I done! Something approximating that thought ran through Lawrence’s head as safety J.J. Wilcox came up and appeared to dress him down. But it wasn’t a dressing-down, Lawrence said. “He just said to me, ‘Make up for it now! You can win this game! Make a play!’ I just kept thinking I had to get that play out of my head. What I was trying to do was make a play, but I realized the most important thing there was possession. I gotta be smarter about the situation.”

I didn't think Wilcox would chew him out. That seems uncharacteristic and stupid, if you ask me, to do when you have a player you're still relying on out on the field. You encourage him to make up for it, not berate him for a stupid play.
