Josh Katzowitz's top five
5. Manny Lawson, 49ers
4. Elvis Dumervil, Broncos
3. DeMarcus Ware, Cowboys
2. LaMarr Woodley, Steelers
1. James Harrison, Steelers
Fact is, Lawson’s the best OLB at dropping into coverage of anybody on our list, he plays the run very well, and he does, in fact, get to the opposing quarterback. Even without great technique, he was credited with hitting the quarterback 11 times last year; he just doesn’t record many sacks. And considering last year was his first season in the 3-4, he’s only going to get better (it should be noted he had four sacks in the final seven games of the year). Yeah, Lawson isn’t the sexiest OLB out there, but he’s more than solid.

the first 4 get consistent pressure and wreak havoc on the qb
manny doesnt belong on that list
from the same link
"But whatever, let’s get to the shocking part of your list: MANNY LAWSON?! If this were Bottom 5, maybe. Lawson is very fluid in coverage. I’ll give you that. But he’s not physical in traffic, and he’s a modest pass-rushing threat at best. If Ahmad Brooks had even a slightly-below-average football IQ, he’d be starting ahead of Lawson in San Francisco. "

Wow. From the responses you'd have thought he said Manny was the worst OLB in the league. He gave our player thoughts and everyone's hating?

What's a message point? Is that a Canadian term? I'm really not familiar.

The man has had ONE good season, and even that is pushing it. Do it again in 2010, then we'll re-evaluate.

Actually Clay Matthews and Calvin Pace are better than all of our LB's and I'd take them over anyone of them to add to Ahmad Brooks. But Spencer, hes pretty much the same as Lawson, only I think Lawson is a better all-around player, and more athletic. I'd have to take Lawson over Spencer.
With that said, I really do hope Lawson has a good year this upcoming season, and I hope we do re-sign him or at least franchise him if he does do good.
