thenorthremembers Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Not sure why everyone is getting on the guys case for bringing this up. Lawson has literally played DT in this scheme, both during the season last year and during this preseason. I agree. They should be moving him around because he doesnt have the first step to be a pass rusher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 He played inside on passing downs at Clemson and was effective. He has been doing that here this offseason as well. We will see him kick inside on passing downs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much hoping that Trent Murphy is healthy, but Lawson is fine for a second string DE on run downs who moves inside on passing downs. That's a fairly valuable player. He doesn't ever look like he's going to be a solid pass rusher but he has shown a knack for knocking balls down and his speed and hustle on that 25 or so yard run against the Bengals was pretty amazing. We wanted and expect more from a #1 pick obviously. But he's a role decent player as is and there is no reason to release him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we'd have Alexander and Hughes rushing on the outside, slide Shaq in the middle. 3rd and 7+ Murphy, Shaq, Phillips and Hughes? You would think that could bring at least decent pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I don't see too many plays for Lawson though moving inside. One of the very best things that could happen to the Bills defense this year is if Star can move the pile 2-3 yards back into the QB on passing downs. So Hughes and Murphy and Alexander can get sacks instead of the opposing QB having those extra yards to step up into a huge pocket. That was one of our biggest problems. We want Star in there as much on passing downs as running downs. Granted, he is not going to play the entire game. But with Kyle back later and Phillips a little not sure how many snaps Lawson would get inside. Surely some. But Star is a key and maybe the key to this defense this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullBuchanan Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I hated the pick when we made it because he was slow in college, and didn't play with the kind of fierce tenacity you like to see out of a premier de. Unless something changes and he becomes unlockable, I don't see him becoming anything more than a bottom of the rotation player on bad football teams.

Beast Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I agree. And if he doesn’t fit there, move him to WR and see if his skill set fits better for that unit. It’s all about depth. !@#$ it, make him our punter while we are at it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRush Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 7 hours ago, BakersBills said: Seems like a much better fit for his skill set and with another offseason he can put on the needed weight This is a decent idea. In college most of his sacks came by overpowering the tackles, as opposed to speed. He’s just not fast enough to get pressure on the QB from the edge. Considering he plays the runs fairly decent and his best move to the QB is bull rushing, it might not be a bad idea to move him inside. Of course, for this to happen Trent Murphy needs to be the 3 down DE the coaching staff envisioned him to be when they signed him to a fat contract.

Dadonkadonk Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The overwhelming majority of this board loved this pick. You know who you were. Most thought they got a steal and he would be a dominant pass rusher. Now he just looks so dam slow. First I thought he was just fat and out of shape. Now he just looks so unathletic.
