6 1/2 of his sacks last year were a result of him beating his man and getting to the QB in 3 seconds or less. 7 of his sacks were a result of coverage or another player(s) washing the QB to him and him cleaning it up. A couple of his sacks, it took so long that Brad could have rolled out of the stands and chased the QB down for sack himself.
If a team is going to shell out 60M for a player, you damn well better believe that i want them to do their homework and see if the guy is truly worth that money. It looks like another Bengals 'let's wait and see' with the typical outcome of disappointment, that should and could have been avoided.
How many of Carl Lawson's sacks were the result of him beating his man? I'm pretty sure it's less than 6.5 since he only had 5.5 sacks to begin with. It doesn't matter if we spent $15 million on 6-8 sack Henderson instead of 6-8 sack Lawson. I'm glad the franchise strategically attempted to save money on Lawson instead of blindly throwing $15 million at him. It was a low risk, high reward move since we had a backup plan anyways.
