It's almost D Law Time

[dbair1967]

Saw some blurb that S Jones said today if not for the IR rule mandating how long Lawrence had to remain out, he could play.

Sounds like he will be full go for practicing this week and then next week be active vs Arizona.

Watching this clip, we should sure use some of this from our DL.

That is eome really bad music on that video. I am anxious to see if the draft picks and trade-up was worth it.

He still looks kind of small and skinny to me based on the video. Has he packed on some size and strength? Right after we drafted him the Zone had a video they claimed make him look great, but what I saw was mostly a guy being pushed around by college tackles. Pro linemen are on an entirely different level. The kid looks like a 3-4 linebacker to me. Maybe he will be Ok as a situational pass rusher.

The word is he has really changed his body in the couple months he's been out, I thought I read he was close to 260 now

Its words from Jerruh, but he says people were "frothing at the mouth" after watching him in practice last week. I saw some comments from some of the players and Broaddus too that said he really looked good going against T Smith

How good is this guy expected to be?

Is he expected to play every down, or just in passing situations?

 

[Sheik]

He looks out of this world athletic.

I think they really believed he'd win the starting RDE job when camp began.

But he's missed alot of time, I think we'll mainly see him in passing situations for a few weeks.

Yeah, according to 105.3 The Fan, he's packed on a lot more upper - body strength. He's bigger now than in that video.

 

[JBond]

Good to hear he used his downtime wisely. We need a speed rusher, but he must also be able to play the run and disengage blockers to pursue.

 

[NoShame]

Can't wait for this guy to play.. Need sacks in the worst way on D.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

What kind of sack celebration is that?

 

[Omegasupreme]

Wasn't the initial impressions of him that he was a lot stronger than they thought? DH Lawrence on one side and Spencer on the other! Bookends of Doom.

In a related story, Michael Sam was cut today and they signed Troy Davis. Not sure where, how or if Davis fits in or will play but as a situational OLB rusher a la Erik Walden, he has strong specs. Very very quick in short area for 6' 2" 251 LBs. 4.14 20 yard shuttle and 1.58 10 yard split (Alshon Jeffrey runs a 1.64 and Jonathan Baldwin runs a 1.58). Solid college stats including 18 sacks, 4 pass break ups etc.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Interesting that they let go of a tweener pass-rusher to make room for another tweener pass rusher.

Guess Sam just isn't very good rushing the passer.

Damn just what we need..a 4 game ban for PEDs
