What was D-Law doing

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Fields is a good runner.

What is the other threat?

LOL

 

[Creeper]

You can't contain a guy like Fields with one guy. It has to be a team effort. He, and Hurts, are quicker and faster than defensive linemen.

DQ had alot of questionable alignments to me, but he was playing with a big lead alot so made them run.

 

[DAL1180]

Fields is a double threat , its hard to contain that.

He's nit a great passer yet. It may come but he's not there right now.

 

[risco]

Give it a rest & stop knit picking on these players. They're human beings & not robots.

Probably some truth to this.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Probably some truth to this.

The edges were baby soft, but i think most of that was him not giving them the PA bomb

 

[TheHerd]

This is one of the issues. The DE’s are
Crashing on the read option.

I would rather they not crash and let the middle of
The defense worry about the RB.

This. Have to see top the QB first, period, and let one interior defense stop the RB on those plays.

 

[Stash]

Yeah we should sit him...my god

I’m glad to hear you liked watching him lose outside contain. Again and again and again. You do you.

 

[Stash]

Really silly response

But expected.

Bull_ _ _ _! Lawrence is good player, but way to often he gives up the edge on a boot leg, or he does not break down and force the QB inside when he rushes.

Just do your job, the right way!

 

[Vtwin]

A guy like Fields is worth special attention.
In other words, Play Fields to take him out of the equation and take your chances on the RB beating the rest of the defense.

 

[Captain43Crash]

That's exactly what Kearse did on his sack. Forced Fields back up the middle where he had help.

100%!
The coaches should show Kearse’s play to Lawrence and the rest of the Defense.

Lawrence runs full speed at the QB and doesn’t break down, until the QB is running by him. It really is dumb!

 

[terra]

sort of makes a mockery of those that claim he is so great against the run; so good at containment.

 

[Captain43Crash]

DLAW is still far and away our best run defender.
justin fields is just a helluva athlete.
i have no concerns about #90.

Wait until we loss in the playoffs because Lawrence doesn’t do his job. Lawrence is supposed to contain the edge, and force the guy inside, it doesn’t matter how fast the guy is.

Do you realize the DE is supposed to contain the edge and keep the QB from getting outside?

 

[Cebrin]

Listen, Dlaw has been really good this season overall.


But what was he doing on QB contain today?


He is a veteran. He has to know better. He has to contain better.

He needs to fix that

When the run is killing you it's natural to work the inside, and have LB's and CB's do their job.

If were being honest the only good LB we have on the field right now is a guy we use as an extra DE. Hopefully Clark can come in and make an impact. LVE is slow to react, and cannot shed blocks. We need more speed, and Damone can provide that if and when he's ready.

Kearse did it AND made the tackle. Lawrence would not be expected to make the tackle, but his JOB is to keep the QB or RB from from running outside.

 

[Awakened]

Are people seriously saying DLaw is not athletic enough or should be replaced?? Ha, wow, I guess it’s a free country, but those posters have got to be youngsters, right?

 

[joseephuss]

Fields is a double threat , its hard to contain that.

With only 5 career games with over 200 yards passing and 0 games with over 300 yards passing, I'd say Fields is still just a one dimensional threat at this point.

 

[fansince68]

His angles were horrific. All he has
To do is stay outside and at least make
Fields run up the middle and not untouched around the side for 15 yards.

I agree ...
