As I said sacks aren't a great indicator of a players effectiveness especially as an edge guy because in this video for instance you can see guys running away from him because he was destroying their LT. This video is a two minute cut up highlighting a single rush move, it isn't everything he did before getting hurt.
Edit: Actually, before being hurt he was 2nd in pressures only behind Von Miller. His PFF rating of 80.9 was 8th in the entire league when he got hurt.
It was pretty clear that Geno and Dunlap's production dipped after Lawson went down. He wasn't getting sacks, but he generated a ton of pressure and flushed QB's into the other guys.
