I too felt Shaq wa preferred to play early downs  and or short yardage.
Murphy was hobbled so he certainly played pass rush or was moved inside on occasion.

we all watch games. some watch them over and over. some do statistical analysis.

some play fantasy football and little more.

i just watch games.

so my opinion is is hardly worthwhile.. and yet... i still have one

 we all do

No i am just suggesting  it was his opinion and not presented as fact.

 you are saying his opinion is untenable : )

If the Bills coaches knew when the opponent is calling a running play just so they put Shaq in the lineup don’t you think we should have won more games last year? ?

Well, if Lawson is generally put in a position to stop the run, and that's what he does, he's not likely to get a lot of sacks. Why would he?

I think us declining his option and signing Murphy last year....they want someone who can also rush the passer.  I agree with you Shaq is a good against the run but it's not what McDermott wants....looks like he wants someone who is some sort of threat to make the QB uncomfortable.

seems the big runs were from LB or SS errors.

Edmunds will improve , naturally.

Maybe it's a combination.

and there is no definitive answer ?

 lest us hope

 Murphy and Lawson both bring their A game this year. could be fine rotation in theory

Who doesn't right ?

 But he brought in Star to hold steady and do his job. and hopefully make few mistakes with assignments. Lawson might be that same "type of player "

is that enough ?

 never settle of course. Continued improvement comes from Coaching as well as talent. Lawson improved under Frazier

I still say natural instincts is Edmunds only problem. He belongs outside, he isn’t crazy enough to fire gaps like a middle backer. 

 

He would probably be the Bills second best pash rusher outside of Hughes. He would have more opportunity to make plays in coverage as well.
