Maury Ballstein Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I just can't believe Lawson signed, knowing the Bills don't have a QB. /sarcasm Agree huge leap of faith by Lawson. In all seriousness though Lawson was a big deal coming out of college and I thought he was decent for the 49ers early Pre injuries. Let him scrap it out w the other lbs. let the best man win.

rpcolosi Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 well - He sounds like he can stop the run. +1 MANNY LAWSON Bengals outside linebacker The good: Lawson is a solid run defender who can play in the 4-3 or 3-4 defense. He is a sure tackler, missing just three all of last season. Lawson played in every game in his two seasons in Cincinnati, although there were some games in which he played less than half the snaps. The bad: There were expectations that Lawson would boost the pass rush, but he managed 3.5 sacks in his two years with the Bengals. He also looked rigid in pass coverage, which is why he only broke up one pass last season. The bottom line: The Bengals have enough cap room to upgrade from Lawson. He is only 28 and a former first-round pick, so he should catch on with ano http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/post/_/id/66106/top-free-agents-in-the-division-no-13ther team.

Bangarang Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Basically, the guy is an athletic freak. Was supposed to come in and get tons of sacks and QB pressures. That never happened and he's known more for stopping the run and covering TEs and slot WRs (something we couldn't do). I'll take it. It's a start but we definitely need more help at LB.

bladiebla Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 "Sure tackler"...wtf does that mean?? Anyone ever heard of this term as it relates to the Bills?? A guy I know told me once that sure tacklers are not forwarding every attacker to the safeties. Offcourse I laughed in his face, the guy knows nothing about NFL, seriously. Guess our LB coach will fix that soon enough and make sure he'll be forwarding as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC in St. Louis Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Man, news travels fast. I googled Lawson and he is a Buffalo Bill. On Wikipedia they go thru his measurables for the draft. He ran a 4.43 forty. That is rippin' fast. Holy jumpin. He's 6'5" Scored a 43 on the Wonderlic. Keep in mind that Vince Young scored a 4 or something.

Maddog69 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Solid signing as long as they didn't give him $8m per year. Keep them coming. We need to sign atleast 1 or 2 more LBs, an OL, TE, WR, QB and CB And then draft one of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 So with Lawson and Bradham being penciled in as our starting OLBs, I think that decreases the chance we pick Jarvis Jones, Barkevious Mingo or any other OLB at #8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think either of those guys are penciled in as starters. They will both play but if the team loves Jones or someone else, even another FA LB, they will jump at him. We need about three new LBs and just got one. He's a role player but a needed and decent one. Pettine likes to play a lot of different guys.

BigdaddyinOrlando Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 This is a good solid move. Like the fact that he has remained relativly injury free which would be nice as we seem to have an abundance of injuies that always seem to hit each year!!!

The man sounds like exactly the kind of pick I was hoping for last night: a solid player who fits into the roll without making too much of a splash cash-wise. It would be nice to maybe get a few more, and a decent #2 receiver in the mix but I already feel a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
