DeMarcus Lawrence has left the Dallas Cowboys to join the Seattle Seahawks on a two-year contract.

Speaking to FS1’s Speak on Monday, March 17, Michael Irvin said, “I’m gonna absolutely go with Micah Parsons here.”

“First of all, D Lawrence—and I love D Law—good man, played great for Dallas for a long time. But you have to self indict since you were there,” Irvin added.

Irvin made some strong statements reacting to Lawrence casual approach of not winning the Super Bowl. He said, “You can’t just say, ‘I ain’t gon’ win a Super Bowl in Dallas,’ as if you were not on the football field.”
“You were the reason why [they] didn’t win. You are directly part of the reason you didn’t win a Super Bowl in Dallas,” he further said.

Irvin’s sharp attack at Lawrence was justified as he was once a three-time All-Pro wide receiver throughout his 12-year career. Irvin has left a legacy for his juniors.

Irvin not only warned Lawrence but his words was also a wakeup call for the Parsons. He said, “Dallas had the No. 1 offense a few of those years,” he continued—before relaying the perfect metaphor for the Cowboys’ defense. “The problem was, that defense. That, what I call, ‘Oprah Winfrey defense.”

“You rush for 200 [yards]! You rush for 200! You! You! You! You! Everybody rush for 200!’ That he was part of… So yeah, I blame D Law. I put the onus on him,” he added lastly.
