The idea that we should "move on" from him is silly. What, you think Brown or Kareem are better? Yeesh.
Yes, he got hurt. Yes, he is not a 3 down guy. But he is a 3rd down guy, and that is the big one. Plus, if we play more 524 base, his issues vs the run may not be as big a deal as in 434.
He's our best pass rusher and #3 DE. Keeper. And due a raise.
Completely agree, Lawson needs to stay healthy but he is cheap cause of the injury history and as you say is extremely
effective when rushing the passer. One of the best in the league when healthy. Very disruptive and is one of the best at
lowering his shoulder and getting around OT's I have seen.
