Anthony Lanier- Anthony Lanier started for the second time in the last three weeks and in his career, but negative game script limited him to just a 49% snap share.

The lengthy UDFA defensive end made 1 tackle in the game and failed to record a pressure for the first time since Week 7. This was only the second game all year he has been used as a pass rusher and he didn’t generate at least 1 pressure.

Lanier was active in other ways, though. He blocked an extra point following the Giants’ first touchdown. That was the first blocked XP by a Redskin since Kedric Golston blocked a Cardinals point-after attempt in Week 7 of the 2007 season.

He deflected a Manning pass on a 3rd-and-4 play. That was his sixth pass defense of the year. Lanier finished the year by recording at least one PD in each of his last four contests. He led all Redskins’ non-DBs in pass defenses and ranked 6th among NFL D-linemen in this regard.

Lanier’s 5 sacks this season ranked 3rd on the team, only Preston Smith and Ryan Kerrigan had more.

This was truly a breakout year for the 24-year-old out of Alabama A&M. He set new career highs in almost every single statistic and was one of the team’s most productive linemen against the pass. Amazingly, he accomplished all of that despite not playing a single snap until Week 8.

He is under contract for just $630K next season and is slated to be a restricted free agent in the 2019 offseason.

A player on the rise but a rotation piece at best for now.

Yeah, 6 PDs and 5 sacks in half a season is impressive. I wonder how his run defense is, but on the real. If he has 10 sacks and 12 PDs a year in him. He's a keeper.

well people will catch on to him and learn to block him . 5 sacks and 6 pds for a full season as a BU wouldnt hurt us

That's plausible, but perhaps Lanier broadens his skillset and continues posting impressive numbers. And while 6 PDs n 5 sacks from a rotational/BU for a full season wouldn't hurt us. 12 PDs n 10 sacks from a rotational/BU for a full season would hurt us even less.

Agreed, and on the real. A DL who can shut down/clog up the interior who other teams are forced to double team on nearly every play. Is far more needed right now than a DL who can give us 10 sacks/12 PDs a season, but is paper mache when it comes to run defense.
