He currently has 3.5 sacks and is currently tied for third place. Dude is a beast

Lawson is one of the few guys on defense returning
That has taken his game to another level.
He reminds me of James Harrison alot.

Now somebody needs to remind Dunlap the season
Has started.

Lawson playing for that next contract.

His skill level has never been in question. He just needs to prove he can stay healthy.

My thought exactly.

A 4th year DE rotational guy who’s been injured tons and has 18 career sacks.

Vs an 2x all pro, defensive player of the decade candidate, to be hall of famer with who won 2 Super Bowls.

Total tackles: 793
Sacks: 84.5
Forced fumbles: 34
Fumble recoveries:9
Interceptions: 8

Vs Lawson

Total tackles:54
Sacks: 18
Forced fumbles:0
Fumble recoveries:0
Interceptions: 0

I should clarify my statement. I.never said he was a good as Harrison. But they are close in their physical frame .Lawson is 
2 inches taller. And how Lawson.comes off the snap reminds me of Harrison. 

He can definitely get to the QB. he could have easily had 2 more that he let slip his grasp.

Now to get Geno back and collapse the pocket.

I still don’t see it. Harrison in his prime was a force every single play. Dude was a maniac. Lawson is good but nowhere near Harrison levels of motor and desire.

I agree with this here. Lawson has been a good pass rusher the whole time when he's been healthy, but he's been banged up a lot. If he can really turn the corner on the injuries, I think we really have something in him.

I like how Lawson has improved in stopping the run this year. This has stood out to me. He has always been a great pass
rusher. As others have said he just needed to stay healthy, get better at stopping the run which he has and get better in
pass coverage.

A case can be made that outside of Bates, Lawson has been our best defender. Reader is really the only other candidate.
