Should Bengals be switching rookie positions?
#49
Those that are talking about the Bengals failing with James Harrison and Manny Lawson, I get it.
Harrison and Manny Lawson never had more than 2.0 sacks in a season with the Bengals.

However, remember that the Bengals were in a Zimmer defense when Manny and Harrison played in Cincy, not a Guenther defense.
If Carl Lawson is supposedly going to be the Bengals next attempt at finding Boulware/Pollack, this might be a better defensive scheme for him to succeed in terms of rush attempts from the OLB position vs a Zimmer scheme.

It's also worth mentioning that even David Pollack only had 4.5 sacks as a rookie, so don't be shocked if Lawson only gets 3-4. As long as he can get more than Harrison or Manny did in their time in Cincy, that will be considered an improvement in my book.
