10 to 12 mil?

When you look at snaps per QB hit it gets even more impressive.  Last year Lawson had a QB hit every 20.8 defensive snaps played.  I don't have the time to calculate all the leaders, but that rate is better than any of the top 5 leaders in QB hits last year.

Shaq Barrett QB hit every 24.0 snaps
Darius Smith every 23.6
T.J. Watt every 26.0
Matt Judon every 23.6
Joey Bosa every 27.0

And last year was not fluke.  Lawson's Career rate (22.7) is also better than any of the top five from last year.

Those numbers may be skewed a bit because Lawson plays a higher percentage of his snaps in passing situations, but it is still pretty impressive.

He needs to stay healthy, get better at stopping the run and get better in coverage.

I know we always like to hope for pressure from the front four, but I also hope they have more blitz packages and are very aggressive, especially against the lesser-mobile QBs like Piggy.

I don’t think Hubbard is as good as a pass rusher as Lawson but he can rush and he plays the run and can play all 3 downs. With the additions on defense hopefully we can stop the run early and get into more 2nd and long third downs were Lawson can get more snaps. With Dunlap going into his 11th season at some point in the future we probably need to address DE. I think Hubbard will be here long term going forward we will see what happens with Lawson. We won’t be able to pay everybody but my preference would be that Hubbard and Bates get paid before Lawson. Plus we’ll see what happens with Jackson III then on top of that they’ll probably extend Mixon.

Best player of all time is expendable if he can only average 3 games a season


Can’t judge Carl until he throws some health seasons together. That’s why i love Dunlap so much. Homie is never hurt
