Giants’ Dexter Lawrence is ‘flowing’ — and knows the sacks are coming

Even the world’s best magicians would have a hard time making 6-foot-4, 340-pound Dexter Lawrence — one of the NFL’s most imposing specimens and dominant players — disappear. 

And yet Lawrence has been conspicuously absent from the box score in the Giants’ season-opening back-to-back two losses, totaling two quarterback pressures on 66 pass rushes, according to NextGenStats. None of his seven tackles are for loss. 

“I’m getting it when I can,” Lawrence told The Post. “I’m getting a lot of attention — but that happens — and I have to play through that a little better. When my opportunities for one-on-ones come, I have to hone in and take advantage of them. I think that’s all it is.” 

Lawrence was the most-frequently double-teamed player in the NFL last season (63.8 percent of his pass rushes) and still managed nine sacks in 12 games before suffering a season-ending dislocated elbow. He set a high bar for what he is supposed to do now that he is getting doubled on 60.6 percent of snaps — the fifth-highest rate in the league entering Week 3.
