Loeffler Addresses Lawson's Playing Time

"He's got as good of talent as I've been around. He reminds me of the guys I've coached in the NFL. He needs to take the next step though. There's a reason he hasn't played this year. He has the capability, and he can learn. But, It's the little things he needs to improve on to be the guy. He needs to take the next steps in the mental aspects of being the guys."

I hate posting a story from another site, but this is the first time that we've heard from Loeffler about the situation.

I know there are a lot of people on TKP that are in the same boat as I: why did we burn the shirt on Lawson, but never utilize him?

Brewer going down should have given a perfect signal to cue Lawson into the games. Lefty claims that he didn't quite have the mental aspects. Could it be because the offensive scheme was too complicated?

Why didn't Lefty adjust the package and amend it to Lawson? The Colts have done the same thing with Hasselback, The Broncos with Osweiler. Baylor adjusted when Russel went out; OU adjusted when Mayfield unexpectedly left the game; or how about when Zaire left ND's game on a season ending injury and a true freshman came in? Packages change on personnel changes. Why couldn't we adapt to Lawson's skillset and get him on the field?
