MJ isn't very good, Clarke has done nothing, Sims sucks, Thompson is always hurt, Gilberry is trash. These guys need to be released. That would leave us with Dunlap, Atkins, Billings, Glasgow, Hardison, and DeShawn Williams so I think Willis and Lawson would not only have a good shot of playing but they might make it hard for guys like Hardison and Williams to see snaps.
I'm sure that we won't release most of the players I mentioned, but we should as they produce limited numbers and are essentially blocking guys who could be and should be better.
It's a numbers game...but I think they should both see some snaps.
Clark had 4 sacks last year.
I was happy with Lawson playing OLB as I think it's a quicker path to him playing.
We traded for that Chris Smith from Jacksonville too who is a DE.
MJ and Dunlap will start. Then behind them it's a competition with Clark, Gilberry, Smith, and Willis. 2 of those guys can play in a rotation.
