The Seahawks will rely on the past sack expertise of DeMarcus Lawrence. But Mike Macdonald is already impressed with this aspect of him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The\u00a0Seattle Seahawks\u00a0showed their desire to attack the passer by nabbing\u00a0DeMarcus Lawrence. He brings a deep history of rushing the quarterback via the Dallas Cowboys. But\u00a0Mike Macdonald became astounded by one unknown aspect of Lawrence’s game.<\/p>\n

His drill work. Which Macdonald has now seen first hand during\u00a0NFL Training Camp\u00a0for the \u2018Hawks.<\/p>\n

Seahawks ESPN reporter Brady Henderson shared what leaves Macdonald impressed about the new defender.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s like the best drill player I\u2019ve ever seen in my life. You could ask him to do any drill known to mankind, and just the trust he has in why you\u2019re doing it, it is 1,000% every rep,\u201d Macdonald said.<\/p>\n

Henderson\u00a0even captured a video sample\u00a0of Lawrence’s practice habits.\u00a0Macdonald raved about Lawrence before\u00a0\u2014 back in April when describing his technique.<\/p>\n

That work ethic comes at a great time. Lawrence arrives to ignite a Seahawks defense that showed signs of top 10 potential in 2024.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys lost Lawrence on a ritzy $42 million deal. Seattle grabbed a past four-time Pro Bowler who spent 11 seasons in Dallas.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old may be witnessing a decline in production. Even with Micah Parsons opposite of him, Lawrence combined for only seven sacks in his last two Cowboys campaigns.<\/p>\n

Though he earned his last Pro Bowl honors in 2023 following a four-sack season. That campaign additionally witnessed Lawrence snatch 10 tackles for a loss.<\/p>\n

The long defender reunites with a former Cowboys assistant in Aden Durde, who’s now his defensive coordinator here. But Seattle gains a new chance to increase its sack numbers.<\/p>\n

Leonard Williams led the way with 11 sacks. Derick Hall is a young star in the making following his eight-sack debut. But no one else scaled seven sacks.<\/p>\n

Seattle ranked 11th against the pass and produced the same ranking in scoring defense. Lawrence can help lift the unit higher. He already is leading by example, per Macdonald’s words.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
