Demarcus Lawrence to the Seahawks

[Natethegreat]

I guess the Seahawks are going to score TDs playing defense. Lets go Legion of Boom 2.0.

YOLO.

It's called getting productive players that you believe can work in your system so when you go into the draft you aren't just trying to plug holes.
Now that we have an edge player there is no need to force an early pick on edge.

 

[MagnificentSeven]

Okay, NOW you lost me.

 

[Natethegreat]

Apparently he had Lisfranc injury last year. I find that concerning. Can be hard to come back from.

 

[OneLofaTatupu]

Assuming we didn’t pay a premium he could be a solid rotational guy for us

Yep. Just like the oline swinger we are working on quality depth -

 

[King Dog]

In John Schneider we trust

Just kidding


Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Chukarhawk]

this is 100% a Coach mac hire. I think the dude knows what pieces are needed on defense.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yep. Coach Mike is a well-respected Defensive mind. Lawrence isn't just some scrub, and coach Mike is no joke when it comes to defense. Worth a chance, imo. Baldinger is talking about Lawrence now. The one word that he keeps mentioning is EFFORT. He brings a ton of it.

Might be an added depth move, I’m sure. Not a bad vet move. At least Lawrence was a Pro Bowler previously.

It could be a lot worse!

Take and go! Lol

 

[gmor]

Anybody see this one coming?

 

[HawkRiderFan]

Surprising move to me. I have heard multiple talking heads over the last few years say concentrate on the guaranteed money vs the overall value of the contract reported. So looking at 18M and not the full $42M

 

[cymatica]

Can he play guard?

 

[seabowl]

Can he play guard?

Yes, and wide receiver too

 

[Scout]

Anybody see this one coming?

Not really but again we do not know what the overall strategy is at this point so we are along for the roller coaster ride.

 

[seabowl]

Lawrence played all 17 games each year with a combined 10 sacks. He had the eighth-highest grade from Pro Football Focus of any edge defender in 2023, which included a 92.4 mark in run defense

Now, if he can replicate this

 

[Chukarhawk]

Anybody see this one coming?

it makes a lot of sense if you're going to part ways with Nwosu.

 

[Seahawk_Dan]

If Macdonald can do for Lawrence what he did for Clowney and he flashes and gets like a 10 sack year and just a nuisance to offenses then I’ll take it.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

That's

it makes a lot of sense if you're going to part ways with Nwosu.

That's pretty much what has to happen before I feel good about this signing. We need that money for offense.

 

[OneLofaTatupu]

Durde is our D coordinator so I bet he had just a tad bit of input

this is 100% a Coach mac hire. I think the dude knows what pieces are needed on defense.

 

[Seahawker]

I don't know about Lawrence and the MVS signings.

Seems like John is the kid who collected a bunch of empty bottles and turned them in for a grand total of 17 cents. He now finds himself standing in front of the big glass candy counter trying to choose between the penny, nickel and two for a penny candies.
I hope he chooses well and doesn't end up with some empty wrappers and a gut ache. There's not many more empty bottles to find out there and Halloween (the draft) is just around the corner.

 

[Seahawk_Dan]

I think this indicates too that Seattle wants to use their top pick on a guard or edge. Lawrence is insurance if they don’t get said edge in the draft.
