Jets' Invisible Starter and Cowboys' Dominance: A Recap of Week 2 Clash

Carl Lawson, who returned to the field for the New York Jets after missing the season opener due to a back injury, had a disappointing performance in the team's Week 2 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Lawson, known for his pass-rushing abilities, failed to win a single pass-rush rep and looked rusty in his season debut. His lack of explosiveness and poor production raised concerns about his health and effectiveness. The Jets' decision to bench their first-round pick, Will McDonald, in favor of Lawson did not pay off, and going forward, it would be difficult to justify keeping McDonald inactive. Other pass rushers, including Jermaine Johnson and the interior defensive line, also struggled against the Cowboys. The Jets need to address these concerns and find ways to improve their pass rush.

Key Players Out for New York Jets vs. Dallas Cowboys Game - Week 2 2023

The New York Jets will face the Dallas Cowboys in their first road game of the season. The Jets will be without kicker Greg Zuerlein due to a groin injury, prompting them to sign free agent Austin Seibert. The team will also have the debut of pass rusher Carl Lawson, who missed the 2022 season due to injury. The Jets will rely on quarterback Zach Wilson to lead the offense against the Cowboys' tough defense. A win would improve the Jets' chances of making the playoffs and give them a 2-0 start for the first time since 2015.

Jets' Carl Lawson takes pay cut for unique connection with Aaron Rodgers.

New York Jets defensive end Carl Lawson said he agreed to a pay cut because of his love for the team and its defensive line culture, and because he felt it was a sign from a higher power to stay with the team. Lawson's pay cut was directly correlated with the Jets creating salary cap space to acquire quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Lawson identified Rodgers as a reminder of his career roller coaster, which started with him chasing the quarterback and getting four sacks against him. Lawson is confident he'll bring the Jets a double-digit sack season and plans to recoup the money he's no longer receiving in 2023.

Jets' Lawson and Mosley talk Aaron Rodgers and bold predictions for 2023 season.

New York Jets' Carl Lawson guaranteed he will have double-digit sacks in the 2023 NFL season, stating that it is a goal and it will happen. Lawson missed the entire 2021 season due to an Achilles tear but posted 7.0 sacks for the Jets in 2022. He feels his best since college and is over a year removed from any surgeries or significant injuries. Lawson's confidence is warranted, and the Jets will be thrilled if he can return to his former peaks in quarterback hits and total pressures, regardless of how many sacks he gets.
