I have high hopes for Lawson as a pass rusher, but he'll need to really improve against the run and in coverage to become more than just a pass rusher.
Exactly why i wanted Willis over Lawson in the draft. Willis is a 3 down player, Lawson is not, not yet.
Might be a more talented pass rusher Lawson or he might just want it more.
Bit surprised Willis has not shown something flashy yet, waiting to see this. Willis has all the moves. Die Hard.

Very true, Lawson is one physical, mean sumbitch that don't let up.
But he is also smart. He can work on his run stopping and pass coverage and be good here as well.
Look out for if or when this happens. Could be a very special player.
