26CornerBlitz Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Dude has looked invisible to me. It's still early, but to me, he hasn't lived up to the hype yet. So far, the 2016 draft class has been very meh. Definite potential, but when 2 of 7 are out the whole year, and your top pick is out half the season, it's tough to have a good feel for the draft class. Then you're not watching him.

RyanC883 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Starting is meaningless, we substitute so frequently. Just use a few of your 35 snaps to get to big ben or disrupt a couple plays in the backfield. Shaq missed his entire training camp and preseason, where he is right now developmentally is probably about week 2 of the preseason. exactly. And I think he's looked solid given this.

Blokestradamus Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Gets the most favourable matchup on their OL, up against Alejandro Villanueva. Given up 6 sacks, 4 hits, 28 hurries, 7 penalties called against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 @JoeBuscaglia Joe Buscaglia Retweeted Mike Rodak Shaq played an awfully impressive game against Oakland. His best yet by far. Showed speed and made Donald Penn look silly on one play. @mikerodak Rex Ryan told the team's official radio program this week that OLB Shaq Lawson will start Sunday against the Steelers.

BillsFan130 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 It will could be as simple as their 1st round Rookie is earning more time and playing great when he gets his chances Yeah because a DE running down an WR on a revers with a very flat angle is the definition of a bit slow and unathletic It will could be as simple as their 1st round Rookie is earning more time and playing great when he gets his chances Yeah because a DE running down an WR on a revers with a very flat angle is the definition of a bit slow and unathletic I wasn't talking about him running down receivers.

He played better last week but still did not contain on a few runs that went 15-20 yards. Can't have that in the NFL.

Tu-Toned Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 It really does tickle me how much he's disliked. Literally been the best DB on the field since the NE game.He maybe playing better, but the poster is absolutely correct about him not tackling.He has no clue how to, or is afraid to wrap up ball carriers!

He has no clue how to, or is afraid to wrap up ball carriers! His technique has always been woeful, no doubt. Just last year, many were critical about him being too aggressive and reckless in the tackle. This year, the mantra has been that he won't tackle. There's been plenty of evidence to the contrary in the past few weeks and yet, it's glossed over for some reason. If you're going to call him out for not doing something, it's only fair to recognise when he does it. At least that seems logical to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Then you're not watching him. Ive watched him crash inside when his responsibility was to set the edge a handful of times. Granted 5 or so bad plays does not a bad pick make but it's frustrating to see him make the same mistake time and time again. Other than those mistakes he's been ok. Not great but not bad for a guy who missed all of training camp his rookie year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to believe part of the reason he's starting is because he's young and fresh after missing half the season while Alexander may very well be hitting the wall after getting more work this year than he's ever gotten before. I just have to trust the the coaching staff knows where their players are in terms of freshness and knowledge of the D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
