Kirby Jackson Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 There was talk about a 4th for Bryant. Can Shaq Lawson get a 4th (same return as Ragland)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Actually it may, although Lawson has said he feels better playing with his hand on the ground. Is he heavy enough to play line in a 3-4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Y. Orangeman Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I don't like it at all. It opens a huge hole at DE and creates a situation where we have two UFA WR's next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Lawson has been a disappointment, but come on. Give him a third year in the system. Players do get better, and while he's never going to be that explosive, he has some skills/assets that are valuable. Also, he came out as a junior, so he's still young (23). And he's missed time in both seasons with small-ish injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnCoke11 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I’d trade one of the 2nd rounders for him in a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Shaq Lawson get a 4th (same return as Ragland)? #96 for Bryant wouldn't be bad value to spend at all and better than anyone offering a #4. WR market is HOT. After seeing what Eagles and Rams did now everyone wants WR to put around their young QB. Maybe Steelers throw in a 2019 6th. They are bereft of draft picks this year. I think Beane is trying to talk Tampa into taking Shaq to move up to #7 though. THAT would be a helluva deal if he can pull it off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, the depth behind him, the FA market and our need for flexibility in the draft make this incredibly risky IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittsburgh tends to use heftier guys at the 5-tech, and even though I think Shaq sets a heckuva edge as a 9T, I don't think that he's the guy you want playing head-up on a OT in a 2-gapping system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for the update from Sal about how Shaq can help the pass rush by keeping QB's from running around the edge that he inadvertently sets by being the last guy to react to the snap 110% of the time. I bust Shaq-balls on here but if they can't get rid of him for some value I would be interested to see if he can improve. I'm not entirely closed to the possibility. Dat first step doh'.

Wsam4031 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) no thanks a locker room cancer and although we haven't seen a whole lot from Shaq id like to keep him and see what they can do with him. Was a 1st rnd pick and has a boatload of talent at a manageable cap number Edited March 13, 2018 by Wsam4031 spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about that first step. But if you get rid of him, who is gonna play the position? He's a JAG at the very least, and as we both know there are a lot of sub-JAG players populating NFL rosters. I don't think the WR position is more important than the DE position, and Bryant comes with a LOT of baggage that shouldn't be overlooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see it happening, but unless they get very good value for him i guess it make sense to give him one more season in the new system.

Yarbrough and Davis are comparable producers in rotation and the place-holders until they find a pass rusher to man that spot. I suspect there will be another Obdighizuwa or two put into the mix. Need some long, bendy athletes for those DE positions in this D IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
