But Lawson was among the better pass rushers in the league with pressures, knock downs, and sacks per snap average. The article went on to question why MJ had all his snaps with like 1/4 the production of Lawson.
I'm anxious to see what he can do with a full healthy season. And hopefully this staff has the sense to use him.
I agree that Lawson is a better attacking end than MJ.
But it's only fair to point out that Lawson was used more in passing situation early on, to utilize his skills. MJ was used in run sets, to set the edge.
The consensus on this board was that when Lawson can bulk up and play the run, then he would be a 3 down end.
I hope that he is used judiciously now. I'm concerned that he will blow out the other knee, if too much is put on him.
