Remember how Marv coached defense in Baltimore?

We lucked into burfict. Recycled vet LBs. Who like harrison and dansby were better after they left and even older. And we have missed on so many LB draft picks since he has been here.

Arm chair GMs have been calling for a smaller speed rusher for years. Years after dontay moch ran a fast 40 that meant we had to draft him we finally got another smaller faster speed rusher. After fighting through shitty coaching and a move to LB this offseason he has shown he could be an impact player. Another year of coaching by Marvin though... Lawson will be screwed.

Jordan Evans looked like one of our best LBs this preseason. Minter didnt earn shit. Vrey is still vrey. Goes 100mph but is a backup level player. Evans being young and oozing potential has probably played less than 10 defensive snaps. Only reason we got him was because he ran a fast 40... Reason he doesnt play.. Marvin doesnt know shit

Dontay Moch = 255lbs
Carl Lawson = 261lbs

Neither of them are "small". Or even really much smaller, just compared to the Bengals normal love of giant stork-armed DEs. Khalil Mack and Von Miller are both 250. I think what most "armchair GMs" were calling for were smaller faster LBs, so TEs, running QBs, and pass catching RBs don't routinely destroy the Bengals D. Instead they keep getting slow 250-260lb LBers and some unknown jackass named Jack Doyle puts up 12/121/1 against them after having 0 games of 80+ yards in the previous 4.5 years of his career.

Also... Lawson is listed as a DE, not a LB, according to NFL.com
