The question I’d pose is who out there was a better option than Lawson? Clowney signed with Houston, and Joey Bosa seems to be hard at work, trying to figure out how to stay out of the water on nasty par 5’s.
Does he look for guys who played for him? Sure. There’s nothing wrong with that, especially at this moment in the season. He runs a complicated system, and we need someone ready to contribute, not someone who has to spend the rest of October, trying to figure out the playbook.
Besides, the past two weeks have seen improvement, both on the scoreboard and in the stat sheet. Aside from a 35 yard scramble by Mariota, they held Washington to 65 yards on the ground. Against the Texans, it was 60. Stroud managed right around 165 yards through the air, and save for a couple of coverage gaffes, the Commanders were hard pressed to crack the century mark.
