Special contributor Bob Sturm answered questions in a chat Thursday. Here are some highlights.
Question: Do you think DeMarcus Lawrence has the ability to be a plus defender as both a pass rusher and as a run defender? I would assume that adding 10 lbs of muscle in the off-season should greatly help in defending the running game.
Bob Sturm: Gaining weight and strength is a good place to start. There wasn’t much on his college tape that indicated he would ever be a real force in run defense, which is why he was always thought of as a RDE.
