EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) With the retirement of Aaron Donald after last season, there's not much to debate when it comes to who enters the season as the NFL's best defensive tackle.It's either Chris Jones of the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs or Dexter Lawrence of the New York Giants.Giants players are biased when they pick the 26-year-old Lawrence. The first-round pick out of Clemson in 2019 is their leader. He's not a rah-rah guy. Players follow him because of the way he plays. He is never satisified.I think that comes from within and watching Maurice Cheeks Jersey yourself and seeing things that you can improve on, Lawrence said Friday after a two-hour practice on a brutally hot day. Never a perfect player out there, so Im hard on myself. Every day I come out here and I me s up on a little thing, and I write it down, and I correct it the next day, just so Im making a new mistake every day type of thing. Thats kind of my thought proce s.ADVERTISEMENT Lawrence said the mistake can be a small as a technique error when the ball is snapped. The time lost could prevent him from making a play.You've got to keep earning that respect, and I think thats what legends do, he said. At this point, I Glenn Robinson III Jersey want to keep earning those respects, and keep having people feel my dominance and see the type of player I am.Lawrence had 32 solo tackles, 21 a sists, 4 1/2 sacks and two pa ses knocked down at the line of scrimmage last season. Six of his tackles were for lo ses or no gain.The 30-year-old Jones had 20 tackles, 10 a sists, 10 1/2 sacks, four pa ses knocked down and seven stops for a lo s or no gain. He's also a two-time All-Pro and a three-time Super Bowl champion.Tackle Rakeem Nuez-Roches is entering his second season lining up next Danny Green Jersey to Lawrence and says the video doesn't lie.Dex wins 90% of his rushes, Nuez-Roches said. Hes dominating the block on the run almost over 95% of the time. So what hes doing may not show up in the stat sheet, but Ill be danged if we dont feel it as a defense.Guard Jon Runyan Jr., who was signed by the Giants as a free agent, has gone against Lawrence every day in training camp and said he needs to be perfect on every play. If his hands are out of position or his footwork is wrong, No. 97 will take advantage.One of the best D-tackles in the NFL, Runyan said. I think he has capability of being the best of all time. He moves Ryan Broekhoff Jersey so well for being whatever weight hes at and how big he is.Lawrence is 6-foot-4 and 340 pounds but has impre sive quickne s.Im telling you, God must have blinked when he was making me, but he had everybody in the lab with Dex, Nuez-Roches said. Extra on the arms, extra on the legs. Dont forget the speed. Super powerful. Then hes extra big. Come on, thats what Im playing with. Its just crazy. I take off running, hes running Moses Malone Jersey right beside me. Im like, theres no way, theres no way.Lawrence's biggest goal is for the Giants to succeed. He has been to the playoffs once (2022) in his first five seasons. He has been to the Pro Bowl twice, in each of his last two seasons.I think thats my role on this team, is to push everybody, he said. I dont want to be at the Pro Bowl by myself. Thats what Ive been telling everybody. I wear some of my stuff, but I dont want to be there by myself. I think the mindset for me is just to push everybody. If Im on the field, run, push them. Just work hard and it translates to everybody.___AP NFL:
