We'll see if the coaches can use them correctly and develop them into what I think he could be which is an upright linebacker that can Rush and be moved around. I would like him to be played at Sam backer.

Pollack looked like the answer until injuries to that away. I believe there was some hope with Rashad Jeanty, but that didn't happen. Then MJ came into the picture and injuries to the DL kept him at DE. I believe Moch was their last attempt, but he was such a huge project that they gave up when Moch flopped. Lawson looks to the best option since Pollack.
Let's hope so. I like what Lawson brings and think if healthy he improves the D. That said, let's pump the brakes a bit. Pollack & Boulware were both pure studs coming out of college. Pollack was by far the player I wanted us to draft that year, and when his name was announced I nearly went full chub.
Those two were both first Rd picks and All-Americans. What happened to Pollack as a shame. Lawson was a 4th rounder. I hope he kills it, but as was mentioned earlier; Dennard was the next coming of Revis according to certain member's of the coaching staff.
Here's to hoping he's on par with Pollack when he was at Georgia & Boulware throughout his career.
