Just out of curiosity for those that have watched him play at Dallas, is he often/at all talked about as an ISU guy? I watched a little bit of his game last night and he's a damn good football player. He looks even bigger now then he did just 2 years ago.

I've heard it mentioned a few times.
I watch nearly all of their games and they rarely talk about a Dallas Defensive lineman unless his name is Randy Gregory or Demarcus Lawrence and its for the wrong reason. Irving has been playing situational snaps - as such he's only getting about 1/3 of the snaps of the other defensive starters and Marinelli preaches line rotations to keep them fresh. When he entered on Sunday Night, he was obviously fresh and knew they were in passing situations. That said, he totally dominated their last two-three drives. Although they ran a screen behind him, that had Byron Jones not made a great play may have gone to the house....Glad to see him developing and the bigger threat he poses, the better that Defense can be....
I think the Cowboys signed him off the Chiefs practice squad. Guess Chiefs could have put him on the active roster instead of losing him at that point but I guess they didn't think he was ready yet.He's way bigger and obviously improved a ton since he left ISU. Kinda surprised / mad the Chiefs didn't keep him.
Ok. I guess I was thinking that he played more. I just caught the last little bit of the game yesterday and he absolutely looked like he belonged.
He's in their pass rush package. I'd bet on the role increasing quite a bit next year, he's gotten strong enough to defend the run. If he keeps improving he could be a star player, Collinsworth said he reminding of Bruce Smith at times.

Agreed - i wasn't downplaying him at all.... He rotates into the DT spots too so he has a lot of flexibility. Hopefully same thing that happened to George Selvie don't happen with David Irving... Had a great season with Dallas signed a big contract elsewhere - haven't heard from him since....
Davids ceiling is so high, he's just developing into a force. Those arms are just a weapon, he can get up on those OT quick and then the club was obviously vicious. I've never seen a OT benched in the fourth quarter over a 5 play butt whopping... probably right choice though...
Hope he continues to develop - we have desperately needed a pass rush end since Ware left....
I think I posted this last time but he's 10x faster and more explosive than he ever was at ISU. Off the field stuff aside the improvement in just a few years is impressive. He's coming along at the perfect time too, who knows if Gregory ever gets his act together. They need a good young DE.

Local media doesnt seem to know where he went to school. Ive never heard anyone mention him and Iowa State together since he signed here.Just out of curiosity for those that have watched him play at Dallas, is he often/at all talked about as an ISU guy?

Collinsworth LOVES DI. He's mentioned him in three games Dallas has played.He's in their pass rush package. I'd bet on the role increasing quite a bit next year, he's gotten strong enough to defend the run. If he keeps improving he could be a star player, Collinsworth said he reminding of Bruce Smith at times.
It's too bad he and Coe couldn't get their **** together.
Stop sign was just the last straw. He had other issues here.Joe mixon punches a female and plays. Irving carries a stop sign and is kicked off the team.
I remember when he sucked here, and now starts in the NFL. Cool.
