    I like Old School's comment. Lawson IS a lot like Brad Jones. & we don't need another one of them. If we sign a FA LB or pass rusher,I want him to be a total asshole. We need more crazy ass guys that will wreak a little havoc.
    Lawson can be intimidating. He's tall and imposing. I see the Packers looking at him to play limited snaps on specific downs where he won't have a lot of reads - if they get him.

      I know what ya mean, MRD.

      But that's a luxury. That's situation guy and Lawson will get 3 down money.

      He isn't a 3 down player.

        The weather is way too nice ... I'm too happy to be alive to get too upset about 'a good Ole Packer fan' like you KY.

        When you post specific info. on anything. I'm learning from it. If I can afford it...buying it !

        KY Question?

        I'm wondering about your weather. What's the temperature down there?

        It's 'actually hot' here in the almost GREAT White North. 75-77 degree F. Clear BLUE sky...zero clouds.

          If Kevin Greene can coach Zombo and Walden into something serviceable and Matthews into something special, might he get more out of Lawson than what he's shown so far?

              Straight ahead .... he's something else. He just can't 'bob and weave'.

                "The Browns are not interested in former Bengals linebacker Manny Lawson, a league source said today.
                Scout.com reported Tuesday that the Browns were one of a handful of teams pursuing the former Bengals linebacker. The reports said the                 Raiders and Colts were also interested, and the Packers were in talks to acquire him, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Tuesday." from story LINK above

                  Look, the guy's been in the league for what, six years now? If he ain't gotten coached up yet, it ain't gonna happen.

                  It's not like guys coaching at the NFL level don't know how to coach a guy at a position. (Except maybe James Campen and Kurt Schottenheimer.) If his previous coaches couldn't teach him how to make reads, Kevin Greene isn't going to make it happen, either.

                  Skip paying him starter's money if he's Brad Jones 2.0.

                    The guy may not be great, but come on, he's better than the trio we have there. There's isn't much available at OLB. If it's a reasonable deal on a shorter contract, then why not? I don't want to sign him for something that will eat into the pool that Jennings, Matthews, Rodgers extensions will come from though.

                    Packers: Under-the-Radar Signing of Manny Lawson Could Be a Significant Upgrade
                    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1113548-packers-under-the-radar-signing-of-manny-lawson-could-be-a-significant-upgrade
                    Numbers never lie. Statistics tell an unbiased story of what occurs on the football field, regardless of a player's popularity or reputation. However, sometimes football fans fail to look past the statistical surface...


                    PFF gave Walden a pass rush rating on the season of -1.9 and a run defense rating of -15.9. Taking all statistics into account, Walden earned an overall defensive rating of -20.5. This was by far the worst rating for a 3-4 OLB in the entire league.

                    Lawson earned an overall defensive rating of +10.6 from PFF, a sizable difference from Walden's -20.6.

                    Lawson's PFF grade for pass rushing was +1.1, which looks good next to Walden's -1.9. Walden's atrocious -15.9 grade against the run isn't even in the same ballpark as Manny Lawson, who received a +8.1 grade in that department.

                      An appreciable and impressive difference. We must let a fellow ( Eric Walden ) that played over the top for us in our Super Bowl run>>>> go ! His future in the NFL may be over.

                        Holy shit people....this team needs help in the OLB department....bad. If the guy is an upgrade and the price is right lets do this.

                          Reading his pre-draft evaluations, it seems he lacked technique in pass-rushing. If there is an area that Greene might be able to teach that maybe some others are less adept at, it is pass rushing as a 3-4 linebacker.

                            As far as I'm aware. Manny Lawson is unsigned. He signed a one-year, $3 million deal with the Bengals last offseason.

                                ** hoser!?? A term we don't often hear applied to us Canucks.

                                Do you think TT can scrape up $3 Million$ per year for 27 year old LB Manny Lawson? Is our cupboard that full to eat a tad more?
