Dexter Lawrence

I know Leo was out and I know Dex often commands double teams but he was completely dominated tonight consistently. He looked like he was on roller skates.

He should not get another contract with us, and quiet frankly, a DT taken where he was in the draft he should be making wayyyyy more plays than he has. We could sign a vet on a cheap deal or draft a guy in the middle/late rounds to do what he does.
Yeah, but

that would only work if we let you do the drafting.
He's been a big disappointment  
Mook80 : 9/27/2022 12:25 am : link
not a terrible player by any means, but all too often you can go games at a time without even noticing him in a good way

He had trash next to him and was double teamed all night. We miss Williams big time
It was a shitty pick at the time

Lawrence offers a high floor because he has the size and he's nimble for his size, but the ceiling was low. At best, he's a run-stuffing, two-gap clogger who offers little-to-nothing against the pass.
He’s always been overrated on here

Tomlinson was better
He was really good in the first two games

...and had some good play tonight. He actually pressured Rush more than any other player did.

And if he's getting doubled, it's up to the LBs to get free and make a play. Except they basically suck.
He is 1 of 11 out there.

On the contrary - he has always been underrated… and the previous two coaching staffs played him out of position.
Another horrible draft pick..

Thanks DG..
I didn't see him getting dominated at all...  
Thunderstruck27 : 9/27/2022 2:21 am : link
But I was too busy watching Tae Crowder miss tackles
LBers must set edge....and fill gaps.

Dexter is not who I would point out as the problem

I agree. Not the best value for the pick

I feel like this has become a popular refrain for all Gettleman era players. "He doesn't suck, the players around him suck!"
Draft status aside I think Dex is a plus player at DT  
gersh : 9/27/2022 2:02 pm : link
I think his value for a 2nd contact is around 10-12 mil/year
If he doesn’t sign here, I’m guessing that’s what he gets on the open market
