Yes he is. He has certainly impressed me with the play he has gotten out of our guys. Even Cam is playing better than he ever has.
Allen, Nolan, Nielsen, and Glenn have made a HUGE difference in the way our defense plays. Sure, we added talent, but it seems to me that they know how to turn that raw product into polished NFL players. I've been surprised and pleased.
As far as Lawrence, I'll be shocked if he isn't in the 53. He has stood out in a group of DTs that all have played well. He is a sleeper that will have an impact this season. Color me impressed with this guy. I've been singing his praises since the first pre season game.
