Good points, but I agree that it all starts with the OLine. With that being said though, D line was a huge need of our. Nix and Co decided to focus on our ability to stop the run, and I'm ok with that. We won 6 games last year IN SPITE of our O line. of our 10 losses a considerable number were because our defense was completely gased out. I guess Nix's rationalle is that it's better to completely fix 1 unit (D line) than to halfway fix 2 units (OT, NT/DE).
I'm coming around to these picks and I'm excited for the season.
