Cowboys News: DeMarcus Lawrence working, Dorance Armstrong faces pivotal year

DeMarcus Lawrence is putting in the work so his stats match his talent. Dorance Armstrong faces pivotal third season.

Many will say former All-Pro DeMarcus Lawrence had a down year in 2019 with only five sacks. The Dallas Cowboys top pass rusher is now putting in the work this offseason to put his name back at the forefront of the league’s best coming off the edge. Dorance Armstrong was a raw pass rusher with plenty of upside coming out of Kansas in 2018. Now, with him being unable to consistently make an impact, and added resources along the defensive front, he faces a crucial third season.

The Cowboys landed potential impact rookies CeeDee Lamb, Trevon Diggs, Bradlee Anae, and more via the NFL Draft, but who will stand out the most? Amari Cooper is coming off of a career year despite dealing with nagging injuries, but with capable weapons alongside him in the passing game and health, he could have his best season yet. Piecing together the Cowboys defensive line, CeeDee Lamb’s chances for 1,000 yards and a 2021 mock draft are discussed in the news and notes.
