“It might be a detriment to me to practice against him if you want the truth.”
You would think that facing one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL in practice every day would be a big help for any defensive player.
“Sometimes I don’t even think I got better on the play because the ball gets out so fast,” the edge rusher said following the Jets’ first padded practice. “Sometimes, I’m not even getting better, because I’m not even getting out of my space by the time the ball is out. It might be a detriment to me to practice against him if you want the truth.”
Jets defensive end Carl Lawson speaks with the media after practice at training camp in Florham Park, NJ.“It’ll get you better because you get the best of the best,” Lawson added. “I’m just giving you my real answer. Sometimes, it’s not fun. I want to rush the passer, but the ball is out before I can even get a step in the ground. It’s good for the defense, but for me, I want to work my move, but the ball is out.
The defensive end is coming off a season in which he recorded the most sacks of his career since his rookie season and recorded 33 tackles, along with nine tackles for losses.
