If you take the GB game outlier out of his career numbers his sack numbers look like this:
2017: 6
2018: 1
2019: 5 (even padded his stats here with 2 sacks in the week 17 CLE game)
0 FF's with minimal tackles, and we know his run defense is sub-par
He has all the physical tools but gets injured and seems to disappear at times.
I guess year 4 is still his 'rookie' season... when we gonna move on from this guy?
2.) WTF 6 sacks for a rookie isnt bad at all especially considering he only played 40% of the snaps that season.
3.) injuries happen are we really going to judge a player by that? Seriously it's one of the dumbest things that fans do.
In the last 8 games Lawson had 4 sacks with 20 QB hits. In the final 4 games of the season he had 14 QB hits one more than what Hubbard had all season. The guy has proven when healthy he is a hell of a pass rusher.
