Think about it how many teams sit their Mikes for guys listed at SAM and WILL to play nickle lol.
Not Pigeon holing at all, Lawson right now is a rush specalist. Out of a 4-3 base we will have a SAM on the field that is asked to cover a decent amount of time. If thats not vigil my question is who is it, because it's not Lawson as of now. They said that is the one thing he hasn't done well yet. As for how many guys sit Mike in the nickle? The answer is very few use a SAM in nickle, most will use Mike and Will or two Mikes, etc but Sam is usually a specific skill set in a 4-3. I envision Lawson being very similar to what Vic Beasly was in Atlanta last year.
