I've heard multiple times he's redone his body while injured, anyone know his current weight?
Hope he can get after qb

Got to give rush OLB some time. The Eagles 1st round pick has been invisible and is struggling. This happens a lot especially Philly and Dallas taking projects. Our pick is getting ripped by the fans and media even though the day they drafted him he was called a project. He's a great athlete with no experience. How do you get drafted as a PROJECT and then get ripped for not performing. The best LBer that I've ever seen the Eagles have was Seth Joiner. Freaking guy got cut his rookie year and came back to win a DPOY award. Man, we haven't had a star LBer in decades!
It would be better if the coaching staff eases him into action. He should be ready for more game action by next season.There was a good article in the DMN by Rick Gosselin when Lawrence got hurt that spoke to the learning curve for rookie OLB's and that usually they don't get their sea legs until halfway through their first season. His point was that even if Lawrence was able to get back by Week 8 chances were he would spend the bulk of his time just learning the game.
I'm really hopeful he was able to absorb enough to lessen that gap. But I'm also being realistic that any contributions we get from him will be based in pure athletic ability. I'd be interested to see how the kid your heroes drafted comes along these next 8 weeks.
