After two preseason games and camp, Lawrence is really happy with what the Western Michigan product has already demonstrated.
Lawrence stated, “Our rook — he got taught pretty well coming up in college and in high school.” “I am relieved we have him. For us, he is a tremendous draft choice. He seems like he will be a big assistance to us this year.
However, the aforementioned mentoring does not end with Kneeland; it also extends to other veterans, such as defensive end Carl Lawson and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, who both signed free agency and traded to the Cowboys in late August.
Within the first few minutes of Lawson returning to practice on Monday, Lawrence was observed teaching Lawson—a diaLawgue, if you will—about Mike Zimmer’s scheme and responsibilities. This is evidence of the continued value that the four-time Pro Bowler has for the Cowboys’ locker room.
Lawrence is, in fact, Dallas’ defense’s five-star general ten years later.
The former All-Pro pass rusher stated, “I expect them to come to work every single day, just like I expect that from the young guys and myself too.” “Just bringing their game knowledge to us—small things they see that we can improve on, but we are also going to help coach them up to make sure they are getting better every single day.”
