I totally agree. Between Q. Williams, Lawson, John Franklin-Myers, Josh Huff, Phillips, and maybe Jabari Zuniga and a few blitzes from Jarrad Davis and Ashtyn Davis thrown in, we could have an honest-to-God pass rush that will put fear into opposing QBs.
This is a decent signing at a position of need. He is an upgrade over Anderson (we hope), but not a home run. Hoping for the best from Lawson.
I truly think this is a homerun signing and he will outplay his contract in a big way. Guy has an amazing motor and is constantly in the QBs face ,sack or not he will make our D much better esp once we can get our CB position locked up.
Weird comp to me. I’ll refrain from believing u feel they are the same player but moreso their likely output won’t be significant...
In case anyone was interested, below is the Bengals lined up in a 4-3 Under front. Same defense that Saleh runs. As you can see it looks and essentially functions like a 3-4. Lawson is #58, lined up wide on the weak side, which is the Leo position. Obviously he has system experience at this role. Quinnen would be right next to him as that weak side 3 technique, each of them with 1:1 matchups. They are both set to have huge years in this defense designed to free them up. Mosley would be the Mike, where #57 is lined up, Davis the Will where #59 is. #36 is the SS who often will play up in the box near the LB's. Shepard and Fatukasi project well as the strong side down lineman, lined up in 1 and 5 gaps. I'm not sure yet who will play the Sam/Otto, which is #94 in the pic. Maybe Langi or Basham.
Essentially a two year deal for top-20 EDGE money with an option to either get out in year three or if he performs the way we think he will... have him at a bargain price. What a great signing.
Me too, Red. I don't know why, and certainly could be wrong, but I have a gut feeling that Huff is going to be a really good, solid addition to the team and is going to make an impact as a pass rusher.
The way JD is setting up for the Draft is CB & OG to be his top priority, & of course QB. PREDICTION FOR DRAFT: WILSON, HORN, WYATT DAVIS
Such a bullshit question from Cimini, trying to get him to put his foot in his mouth. Lawson showed cleverness and humility and came off completely genuine in the process. Man-crush activated.
He showed some promise last season and I put that video up when he was still a UDFA and he looked great in it lol I hope he comes good for us, it will be a huge bonus.
Not to be a debbie downer but that's the Chargers bad left tackle. The Chargers pass protection has been just dreadful for two years running.
