Carl Lawson: "I can be ridiculously good" - Bengalholic - 07-25-2018
Gotta love the confidence from @carllawson55: "I feel like I can be ridiculously good."

Said he's going to "dominate" if he stays healthy. @fox19 #Bengals pic.twitter.com/ZGuQjp21xv

Love this kid!
RE: Carl Lawson: "I can be ridiculously good" - Nate (formerly eliminate08) - 07-25-2018
I agree with him lol
He has some things that he needs to improve on, namely in coverage and stopping the run but he is a rare
talent rushing the passer already. I like how he has already been eyeing Dunlap's records.

After watching him last season, hearing his confidence and seeing the effort and diligence to back up his statements, I think this guy could have a monster season.

Well Talking the Talk is one thing... almost time to walk the walk
RE: Carl Lawson: "I can be ridiculously good" - bengalfan74 - 07-25-2018
With 8.5 sacks last season I don't doubt him.
RE: Carl Lawson: "I can be ridiculously good" - sandwedge - 07-25-2018
Well then it's time to get ridiculous!!! Just read that he will not be a linebacker, just a DE!
RE: Carl Lawson: "I can be ridiculously good" - SunsetBengal - 07-25-2018
Who knows? He might actually have a chance. After all, at least he didn't end up on this list.

I used to say the same thing to chicks in bars. It was met with skepticism back then too.

I can see this guy being the next Geno on the outside. A perennial pro bowler who ends up as one of the best Bengals of all time. Still a long way to go but I can see it.

Reminds me of Dwight freeney. Not a bad comparison.

Yep he definitely walked the walk in his first year.
Hard to dislike.him.

Anybody who watched CL in college knows health is the only reason he wasn't a top 10 pick in the NFL. Here's to hoping he left the injury bug in college and dominates this year.
RE: Carl Lawson: "I can be ridiculously good" - impactplaya - 07-25-2018
very refreshing to hear such confidence.i havent heard this kind of confidence from a player in 3rd person
since the days of Chad and T.J.
currently i hear it from the STEELERS PLAYERS.
Lawson had a 10 sack season but i think 2 penalties nullified his sacks.
i hope his confidence is contagious

You must have missed Dunlap saying he’d break the sack record...
RE: Carl Lawson: "I can be ridiculously good" - HarleyDog - 07-26-2018
Sounds like he works very hard to succeed. That’s the kinda stuff we need in players. Good kid.

Yes we do, and hopefully others will take notice of him and step it up.

Just has to stay healthy. Nearly unstoppable when healthy and can pin his ears back.
Dude gets around the edge like the elites of all time. Like Impactplayer said he could of had atleast 10 sacks as
a rookie but a few got taken away by penalties. For instance TJ Watt shouldn't of had as many sacks as he did as
he committed penalties and got away with them (which we all know never happens with Steeler players).
I believe the penalties that costed Lawson to not get double digit sacks were not his fault either. Could be wrong.

I could see it rare skills the Law has.

Not bad at all. Also see a little Von Miller in him, Lawson just plays on the right side more often.
Would be cool to see us rotate our Ends a little more and see them on different sides from time to time.
Give blockers a lot more to think about.

True, injury history was the only reason he fell that far. I had both him and Willis rated as 2nd rounders.
Only had Willis rated ahead of him cause of the injuries and the fact Willis was a good run stopper at Kansas State.

Lawson looks physically imposing.
He looks like the terminator.
RE: Carl Lawson: "I can be ridiculously good" - The Caped Crusader - 07-26-2018
Confidence is key. He looks like he is in phenomenal shape this year, says volumes because he's always looked pretty darn good.
