DeMarcus Lawrence a better end? Mario Addison rightfully gets testy

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Mario Addison didn't hesitate when asked if DeMarcus Lawrence would be the best defensive end at Bank of America on Sunday (4:25 p.m. ET, Fox) when the Dallas Cowboys face the Carolina Panthers.

"They also said God was coming back in 2000," Carolina's defensive end said of his Dallas counterpart. "Did he come?"

No doubt the Panthers will have to account for Lawrence, who tied Calais Campbell for second in the league last season with 14.5 sacks. That there is some uncertainty as to whether Daryl Williams or Amini Silatolu, both returning from knee injuries, will start at right tackle opposite Lawrence adds to the intrigue.
