Shaq Lawson has been playing good.

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.

 

This offense is a Gabe Davis ankle injury away from being stuck in the mud again.  You know that right?

Classic case of a guy who is a good player and has a long, productive NFL career, but isn't worth the draft capital spent on him.

As a DE1 and the guy you depend on to lead your team in sacks? He's just not that guy.

As a rotational guy who can set the edge, occasionally be a plus pass rusher, and definitely has a valuable role on your roster? He's great to have.

I like Shaq. Glad he came home.

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

 

Basham was also the guy in Mahomes face when Elam picked the ball off in the endzone I believe.

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.

McDermott seems to know how to play Lawson as he's never played better. The question is if he can keep doing it with a possible increase in snaps with Miller out.

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.

 

Him and Jordan Phillips just seem to be at their best when they are here.  I am glad to see that Shaq is getting some recognition around here because he has been a strong member of this defense this year.

I was going to start a Shaq appreciation thread this morning. Glad this was bumped.  His 1 year 1.1M contract turned out to be the best value signing of the offseason.  I thought of him as a 5th DL that would only be active due to injury.  Turns out he’s been our 3rd best DE and should get 55%+ of the snaps for the remainder of the season.  He’s made a handful of huge plays for us this season.
 

With neither AJ or Boogie showing vast improvement (yet), I would hope we

look to bring him back again next season. The question is, at what price?  I doubt 1 for 1.1M is going to cut it again.  I envision both he and Jordan leaving for “greener” pastures next year as it’ll be their last time to try and cash in on anything other than 1 year deals. 
 

but I hope we can retain both.
