Shaq Lawson has been playing good.

[akcash]

Last 2-3 weeks hes been balling. 

 

Baltimore- Standout solo run stop around LOS late in the game. Also had a couple nice pass rushes and the key hurry/contain on Poyer's pick.

 

Pittsburgh- I honestly can't remember anything specific but I'm pretty sure he has a couple pressures.

 

Yesterday- Couple pressures and a coverage sack.

 

I'm glad to see he's healthy and happy for him that he's been playing good.

[Big Turk]

I have always thought Lawson was underrated by people...he was turning into a pretty good pass rush guy for us and always was great against the run and setting the edge.

[klos63]

He had a very good final season with us a couple years ago. He's a solid player.

[VaMilBill]

He’s good for depth. His ceiling in terms of rushing the passer was always right around 6 sacks. Not great, but not terrible. 
 

his strength is definitely defending the run and honestly I think he’s better than AJ and Boogie

[Brand J]

For all the talk this offseason that the young DEs had taken a step forward, AJE and Basham have largely been disappointments thus far. I’d like to have both those 2nd round picks back.

[Warcodered]

Our D-line depth is great.

[Rc2catch]

Shaq was pretty good when he left. 
I get the feeling he just needs constant motivation or to be held accountable by people he respects or trusts. Cause he was quite bad in Miami and houston. Seemed ok with the Jets. 
Maybe it’s the rotation or even that crazy culture thing but he’s a good player here. Not his fault he wasn’t a 10 sack a year guy his draft slot said he should be. 

[NewEra]

Dam right he has. Well enough where he’ll make 4-5M elsewhere next year.  Then get cut and rejoin us in 2024

I disagree, at least for Boogie. I think he has shown some decent flashes so far this season. He has a ways to go to become what we need him to be, but I’d say he’s making some progress.

Same can be said for Jordan Phillips.......these guys just seem to play their best in a Bills uniform!!

[Coach Tuesday]

Shaq and Phillips were very well-timed additions for Beane.  If they win it all this year they should definitely be in the video.  A sub-sub narrative to a historic season.

[bmur66]

He's playing with his hair on fire!

 

[HOUSE]

Ok

[boyst]

i was thinking we should have added him last year during hte post season.

this year early i was waffling including letting him be inactive during the Chiefs game.

 

i was wrong for that.

[eball]

Romo said it several times during the game that the Bills' 8-man DL rotation is superb.  Lawson is a huge part of that.

 

Beane knocked it out of the park with the way he addressed the DL in the offseason, with the crowning jewel, of course, being Von.

 

It's just a shame he couldn't do something about the outside WR depth.

 

[Dablitzkrieg]

Him and Phillips are $$

You may have been correct on that.  Sunday Mahomes ran for 21 vs 69 last year.  

We’re definitely a lot better vs the run with DaQuan & Shaq.

[Andrew Son]

Beyond his solid play, Shaq seems to add an edge to the defense/team.  I love the attitude he brings, D just seems nastier with him on it.

He really has!! Welcome back Shaq. Next time the Bills play the Chiefs, I'd like to see a pass rush package of Shaq/Groot/Phillips/Von. Shaq can rush yet maintain that edge. Von, Phillips, Groot can go frog hunting

I think they've both played quite well. Basham was the highest rated pass rusher in the league a few weeks ago and has a sack and int with a 31% snap count. Epenesa has 2.5 sacks with a 38% snap count
