FRISCO, TEXAS – This question was posed to me quite unexpectedly the other day:
Do you think we’ll see a repeat season from DeMarcus Lawrence? (14.5 sacks last year after 9 in his first three seasons combined.)
Usually for these types of radio or Skype interviews the questions are pretty predictable. This one caught me by surprise. So my answer, judging from the pregnant pause immediately afterward, must have been deemed somewhat hollow:
“Yeah, if he stays healthy.”
Now, for the record, “D-Law” recorded a career-high 14.5 sacks this past season, tying him for second in the NFL, just 2.
