Some may take that as shade on Lawton
@eaglebuzz - but you gotta hand it to the guy, he killed it when they shifted him to 2nd row to cover our forward losses, and luckily Simpkin was more than capable of owning our 9 jersey on his own.
Lawton has always been somewhat of a versatility play. Sometimes it doesn't seem like it makes sense, until it does - he was made for that scenario on the weekend. He can play multiple positions ably, but many are like jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none and all that. I get that, but he is handy in a Selleys-no-more-gaps type of way imo.
The Cowboys have picked up a good clubman, and I have nothing but respect for what Lawton did on the weekend. If we are to get through the injury crisis of this weekend, he is a great asset to have in the roster. A big game from him is a necessity this weekend.
