RunInRed 16,409 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 DE Carl Lawson says he is working on becoming a complete player@PMARSHONAU Accd to Carl Lawson, Montravius Adams and Gabe Wright are working at DE.

gilstein21 1 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 might be cooking up some nice stunts and twist with the big guys playing outside on the DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom1ni0n 51 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Great statement from Lawson. Very mature and passionate it seems, and doesn't like to rest on his laurels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednilla 5,391 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Lawson was disappointed in himself for not picking up the college game any more quickly last year? Wow. That impresses me, and considering I already considered him pretty beastly, that's saying something. He has an outstanding opportunity to step into the nationally elite this year if he continues with that mindset and his work ethic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That impresses me, and considering I already considered him pretty beastly, that's saying something. He has an outstanding opportunity to step into the nationally elite this year if he continues with that mindset and his work ethic! Impressive, but not surprising. Every interview I've seen from Lawson (dating back to high school), he says he can do better, even after a monster game. Love his attitude. Can't wait to see how good he is next year and beyond.

gilstein21 1 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 it was tough to watch J. Jones on that kickoff. Not because FSU scored, but you could see he tried his best to get up a few times. Hopefully he can avoid the injury bug this season and be a playmaker in the secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metafour 4,969 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Apparently Kris Frost mentioned today that Garrett has been working at SAFETY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilstein21 1 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 interesting. Could go with a double star look. Garrett more of a linebacker, Therezie more of a safety. If Garrett can hold his own in coverage it'd keep the offense from attacking a run/pass weakness on one side of the field. Almost a hybrid 4-4-1/4-2-5 with the 4-4-1 look having better pass coverage.
