I’m surprised Houston is even playing. He was 2nd on the team with 5.5 sacks last year. He’s proven himself more than EZE and Malachi have.

But all the experts here on the Zone are convinced Lawrence is Taco 2.0 based on 17 preseason snaps.......

Houston is really just a pass rushing guy. Leave him out there against the run and he gets steamrolled. EZE was strong against the run as a rookie.

I wasn't sure he would be because of that. Seems like his spot should be pretty secure. I would have been trying to get Malachi as many reps as possible.

Even if it doesn't mean much, good to see Revel and Lawrence being graded among our best in the battle of backups. Both players should have regular-season roles, with Revel possible starting at one of the outside corner spots. I'm glad we didn't hold him out, but at least gave him a few snaps.
