Defensive Lineman Dexter Lawrence

Q: Dexter, the rush defense was something you could hang your hat on tonight, because once again, I thought you were effective in limiting their ground game, correct?

A: We did good in stopping the run, but we just ...

Q: Even on their [Dallas'] last possession, to get the ball back, they had to miss a 53-yard field goal and you kept them in long field-goal range to give your offense another chance.

A: Yes, that's what you have to do in that situation. We came out in bigger personnel to match them and we out-physicaled them on that drive and we just have to do better throughout the game.

Q: Prescott tonight [Cowboys QB Dak Prescott] threw a lot of dinks and dunks and a lot of short passes, how difficult was it to be able to contain him as compared to maybe some other times you have played against him?

A: I mean, like you said, he just did a good job of getting the ball out of his hand. We have to do better as a front of getting our hands up and affecting some of those passes.

Q: This is now seven-straight losses to them [the Dallas Cowboys], do you get a little tired of losing to these same guys over and over?

A: Every loss hurts. I'm pissed, but we just have to find a way to play better as a group. I think that is the biggest thing that we have to play better as a group.

Q: Can you feel good about how you guys went toe to toe with them tonight in spite of the result?

A: No. No. I'm not getting no petty wins. Whoever won on the scoreboard, that's the game. I don't give a damn about a petty win. That's football. We come out here to score points to win and stop them on defense. We didn't do that and they beat us.
Glad he was happy

about that last DAL drive.

They outphysicaled DAL huh?

Game on the line, almost 4 mins left after Nabers drop. 1st play they got blasted right up the gut for 8 yards. Then give up the first down. Game over.

When it mattered they let DAL go right through their front door.

...Dex was doubled on 20 of his 25 pass rush snaps at the time Mays tweeted. If that held, it was tied for the highest percentage in a single game for a player with >20 pass rush snaps since 2016 (NexGen Era) at 80pct.

I was at the game and was watching the DL with binos and he sure looked gassed in the second half. He's getting no assistance from the scheme or his teammates. Feel like some twists etc. would help; I'm not sure how else do you make an OC pay for this(?).
