Well Tua is Tua, last year, this year or two years ago. The same injury risks are there. We are definitely younger and cheaper. We were up against the cap and couldn't spend like the other teams. I question if Oline is going to be better, but hopefully it is. Dline is seriously lacking quality depth. I also think relying on two rookies to be quality starters from day one can easily backfire.
Bama - If Patrick Paul shits the bed, then the 2025 version of the OL has a good chance to be worse. If he is at least serviceable, then 2025's crew should be better than last year.
Hard to put it above 2023 until we see some hitting. Robert Hunt was my favorite active Fin while he was here. Still miss him.
The issue for me is (not putting this on you personally) most who are lamenting Armstead retirement, also wanted to cut him the last two years because of injury concerns. Yes a healthy 34 year old Armstead is probably better than Paul will ever be, but that's not what he was here.
That being said, I would have loved to have him back this year in a limited role.
I am fairly excited about Sava after watching Crabb's youtube video. Excited enough that his jersey might end up in my closet.
