And our D line has been horrible, if the line would play to their potential the D would look better on the back end. I just don’t get it. Sure Geno and Carlos are getting old but this D line should be much better than what they have shown. The first game showed they can still play, then they just dropped of the planet since. So frustrating.
It's frustrating, but remember what Geno was like that first year back from the ACL injury? He was mediocre at best and Guenther had that interview where he called him "just a guy out there". It'll take Lawson time to get back to 100% even if he's "healthy".
It seems to me that the bigger guys take longer to come back from these kind of injuries, I'm guessing due to increased weight and thus pressure being put on the ligament. We see QB's and HB's come back quick and think that should apply to everyone but there's a difference between a 200-225lb guy coming back from a knee injury and a 265lb guy coming back from the same injury.
