mrags Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 NFLN just announced as well. Said he was thier 6th best ranked OLB.
eball Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Does this mean the Bills now have a professional LB on the roster?
mrags Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 They also just mentioned that Bernard Pollsrs has been released. I'd be all about this move.
Kelly the Dog Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I think he fits the kind of player that Pettine likes and wants as we will be playing multiple defenses. A role guy for sure but a spot we desperately need, a coverage LB.
ChevyVanMiller Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Great signing! Hopefully it brings a few guys in off of the ledge.
KOKBILLS Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) I mentioned this in the other thread, but Lawson is a tremendous cover linebacker. Won't generate a lot of sacks but he blankets TEs and slot WRs. 100% correct...That is his specialty...And the reason he does not show up as much on the stat sheet...He'll be a major contributor...Especially on 3rd Down...I really like this move...He's only 28...This is an area of massive need...No words can properly explain how bad The Bills need a LB who can cover TE's...

NoSaint Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 They also just mentioned that Bernard Pollsrs has been released. I'd be all about this move. could be a nice fit paired with byrd. like it more than the laron landry talk.
MOFO Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 http://www.nfl.com/p...2495885/profile Bio Thanks for that...headed in the right direction at least...hope he can cover Patriot TE's....
Rob's House Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 This is the kind of move I was expecting & hoping for (assuming his price is reasonable). We don't need an infusion of star power, just solid NFL starters in positions where that is lacking.
eball Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I just can't believe Lawson signed, knowing the Bills don't have a QB. /sarcasm
Kevin Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 They also just mentioned that Bernard Pollsrs has been released. I'd be all about this move. Bernard Pollsrs? Never heard of him either. Hehe
bladiebla Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I mentioned this in the other thread, but Lawson is a tremendous cover linebacker. Won't generate a lot of sacks but he blankets TEs and slot WRs. How has he performed against Welker in the past?
NoSaint Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) This is the kind of move I was expecting & hoping for (assuming his price is reasonable). We don't need an infusion of star power, just solid NFL starters in positions where that is lacking. last year he played on a one year, 2m deal year before one year 3m so it stands to reason in that ball park. i wouldnt be surprised to see 4 for 12-15m or so giving him some long term security and us a young player for a few years.

SBUffalo Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 This isn't something to get super excited about, but it's a solid signing. Lawsom should get a shot to start and be a three-down guy here (which probably isn't a good thing), but it's something. More than we've had. I've always liked Lawson and wanted him two years ago. Let's hope we didn't overpay on the four-year deal.
Bills of Boston Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Bernard "The Patriot Killer" Pollard Brady Gronk Welker Ridley Love mentioning his name around these parts
