Every time he trots out on the field the offense is going to know that he is coming in to rush the QB, which allows them to audible into a play running at him or passing to where he blitzed from. I like the pass rushing ability he shows, but the rest of his game has to improve to warrant being active.

Completely agree, hope Lawson improves in these other aspects but him being a superior pass rusher is a damn good start.

So maybe he's still better at run stopping compared to pass rush, but he's still overall too terrible to justify keeping.

I'd rather have Gilberry over MJ at this point.

But having a guy who is average at run coverage and shitty at pass rushing as a starter is STUPID.


So we have you in to contain runs.....what if the other team passes 3 straight times? You were basically worthless that whole drive. And with MJ starting that's the situation we were in on a lot of drives. Had a shitty DE playing hella snaps with little production

Same problem we had with Peko and Maualuga, one trick ponies. Get rid of these type of players.

I don't know if MJ might be better as a backup rotational player though. But what we saw Friday sure don't look good.

What Ocho shows here is pathetic. 103 out of 120? Shocked
