Shaq Lawson has been playing good.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

He played well the last time he was a Bill but McD kept starting PED Murphy over him. Murphy went from starter with Bills to out of the league. That said Lawson didn't do much with Dolphins and Jets. 

If he, Basham, and Epenesa can at least hold their own, Rousseau and Oliver should be able to generate some pass rush.

I think Shaw will capitalize on this opportunity. He will step up.

Shaw66 is well past his prime. But anything can happen !
What is his # btw

[Brand J]

Read in The Athletic that Rousseau played 27 of the first 29 snaps against the Pats and Lawson played 26 of the first 29. Just incredibly lopsided numbers given our want for a heavy rotation and goes to show what the staff thinks of AJE and Basham.

Well. Shaq Lawson has been playing well.

[Norcalbillsfan]

I am extremely happy we signed lawson. He plays the run very well, and year after year seems to be lamar Jackson's kryptonite. The bills are still a strong superbowl contender with him filling in for von.

He was always good at defending the run and a pedestrian pass rusher.

He’s a JAG player. He’s best at setting the edge / run defender. That’s fine and well.  But in this league - you need to get the qb to the ground. He has 1 sack in one game. And a half sack in another. That’s it

Maybe, but could also point to them wanting fresh guys going later in the game against tired olinemen.

AJE has 4.5 sacks and is playing a fraction of the snaps. Did you ever wonder why?
 

I often watch games with my brother, a former college QB. For 3 years now, he has pointed out how Epenesa is always out of position. The Bills coaching staff is apparently seeing the same thing. He plays in pass rush situations because he can create pressure. As @JayBaller10 said earlier Shaq & Groot played 53 of the first 58 snaps vs. New England. That should tell you who the coaching staff trusts.

AJE is horrible. No argument there. What else are the coaches going to do they dont have anyone else to play DE. Not about trust. 

[T master]

I think just from seeing what Shaq & Phiiips have done since coming back that some players just fit in certain schemes better than others and can play to their personal strengths more in these schemes .

 

Then you add if they like their coaches & they come across with a good relationship with these players they will as they say run through a wall for them it all adds to good out put & i think given what the Bills have in both areas that could be a part of why these guys seem to play better & have better out put here than on other teams they have played for .

[balln]

yea shaq is playing really well. flopping like a fish

[NewEra]

Another great game for Shaq.  The front 7 dominated today.  
 

all of their 3rd downs were great timing pitch and catches 

 

 

[wppete]

He looked great today. 

[Fixxxer]

Shaq had a great game today. The way he closed in on that sack, was perfect, he didn't hesitate and went straight for the tackle.

Another thing, the DL has been well coached to hit the QB and then roll out so they don't land on the QB.

 

[BuffaloRebound]

He really brings something to the table this defense was lacking the last couple years.  Stout against the run, pushes the pocket and maintains contain.  

[Mojo44]

Shaq’s pass rush looks a lot better than it did during his first stint

[Big Turk]

Lawson had another low-key good game and a big sack 

[YoloinOhio]

What’s he mean here? The jets owe him 9 mill?
