We keep hearing Hendrickson was just a product of the line he played with. Well, Lawson was than also a product of playing on a line with Atkins and Dunlap, right? WJ3 is a one trick pony, he is a beast in man coverage, but he struggles in zone and always has, and can't catch the ball to save his life.
Lawson was top 10 in pressures last season and that was without playing next to Atkins or Dunlap. Also Lawson has played in more games than Hendrickson as during their time in the NFL.
As far as Jackson being a one trick Pony; who cares? The #1 ability a CB has to have is to cover man to man. Maybe we should be blaming the Coordinator for not running enough man coverage instead of Jackson.
