Malachi Lawrence - Every snap from his NFL preseason debut

[morat1959]

When he made that glaring error of taking the wrong angle on Milroe leaving the edge wide open and Milroe sprinted for a 1st down his coach on the DL gave him an earful on the sideline . Loved seeing that .

I thought the kid flashed on several plays. He set the edge several times. His change of direction looked good. I know it’s different positions but his and Mazi’s first step are night and day in their first game. I think he’s got a chance to be a player. We’ll see!

He seems to be good in open space but lacks burst on pass rush. He also has a spotty motor IMO.

 

[Plankton]

He played like someone thinking too much and not letting his ability flow through. The lack of suddenness on many snaps was an example of that.

 

[Jarntt]

I honestly didn't really notice him do much, but PFF seemed to like how he played

 

[Whyjerry]

He competed. Rather see him over Sam Williams.

 

[VaqueroTD]

I'm not asking for much, just some first pregame highlights like this guy (below) who would have killed it in our new 3-4.

Or I'll take a brand new defensive coordinator who gets 0 missed tackles from his band of misfit 3-4 hybrids all just trying to make the team!

Reese looked very physical like a young Parson's at linebacker.

 

[zerofill]

Feel like he is a bit slow on the starts

 

[WillieBeamen]

Shouldve taken Messidor smh

 

[xwalker]

I wouldnt worry about this guy.

I can’t recall a time when they were counting on a first rounder less than him. That ought to help. He actually strikes me as more of complete DE as opposed to just a straight up edge rusher. I didn’t expect that of him.

He looks like a young Demarcus Lawrence...

He looks like a young Demarcus Lawrence...

Maybe same learning curve
Patience needed

 

[RandyOh]

why did i click on this thread? i knew i was gonna read a bunch of horrible takes. imma go back to the Von Miller signing thread. only just some horrible takes in that one.

 

[boysfanindc]

Looked like I would expect a rooking DE to look in his first game, some good and some bad. More good then bad though.

Yep and Lawrence had 0 sacks as a rookie.

Truth is most edges need time when coming into the league. Except for the very top prospects and those guys go top 5.

 

[Kwyn]

I don’t know. I thought he looked ok. He had a QB hit, nearly batted a ball. He lost contain on one play, but so what. People make it sound like he played nine-man football and should have stayed there.

it was one game.

 

[DuncanIso]

You know that they draft for pure need in the first round, and in their minds, LT is addressed.

It was especially alarming to me when Jerry was hyping up Guyton last week. The king of attempting to talk things into existence

Wouldn't it be nice to have Lomu taking reps with the 1s?

 

[bayeslife]

Not a lot to get out of so few snaps, but one thing I thought was important to point out is that during one play where the Seahawks were in the redzone, he took on a double team block and stood his ground.

 

[Verdict]

It is amazing how people can watch the same video and come to such varying conclusions.
