Maury Ballstein Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I just can't believe Lawson signed, knowing the Bills don't have a QB. /sarcasm Agree huge leap of faith by Lawson. In all seriousness though Lawson was a big deal coming out of college and I thought he was decent for the 49ers early Pre injuries. Let him scrap it out w the other lbs. let the best man win.

Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Is it bad that I don't know who he is? Wooderson, my good fellow, Manny Lawson is THE WHIP. That is all we need know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpcolosi Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 well - He sounds like he can stop the run. +1 MANNY LAWSON Bengals outside linebacker The good: Lawson is a solid run defender who can play in the 4-3 or 3-4 defense. He is a sure tackler, missing just three all of last season. Lawson played in every game in his two seasons in Cincinnati, although there were some games in which he played less than half the snaps. The bad: There were expectations that Lawson would boost the pass rush, but he managed 3.5 sacks in his two years with the Bengals. He also looked rigid in pass coverage, which is why he only broke up one pass last season. The bottom line: The Bengals have enough cap room to upgrade from Lawson. He is only 28 and a former first-round pick, so he should catch on with ano http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/post/_/id/66106/top-free-agents-in-the-division-no-13ther team.

Bangarang Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Basically, the guy is an athletic freak. Was supposed to come in and get tons of sacks and QB pressures. That never happened and he's known more for stopping the run and covering TEs and slot WRs (something we couldn't do). I'll take it. It's a start but we definitely need more help at LB.

TC in St. Louis Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I am glad they are doing something. I had not read of any visits. This is a good one. We need linebackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAWNDO Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Bills Daily @billsdaily Lawson seems like a solid middle of the road signing. What you expect from the Bills this year. Not a big splash but a serviceable starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanInUticaTampa Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I wanted them to sign him a couple years ago, but bengals signed re-signed him before free agency. love this signing "Sure tackler"...wtf does that mean?? Anyone ever heard of this term as it relates to the Bills?? I remember a time when I heard that.... some guy named winfield was in a bills uniform. Haven't heard it since, so it must be outdated.

bladiebla Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 "Sure tackler"...wtf does that mean?? Anyone ever heard of this term as it relates to the Bills?? A guy I know told me once that sure tacklers are not forwarding every attacker to the safeties. Offcourse I laughed in his face, the guy knows nothing about NFL, seriously. Guess our LB coach will fix that soon enough and make sure he'll be forwarding as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
