The Oline doesn't look that much different than they did a year ago, so I'm not sure how much losing Whit & Z have really hurt. Yeah they were the best two blockers, but that doesn't say much for a unit that looks exactly the same. Perhaps there wouldn't be quite as much pressure coming through had one or both re signed but let's not forget, they still gave up a ton of pressure last year even with those two here.
Anthony Munoz seems sold on Cedric being capable. So let's hope the problems we've seen these past two seasons have more to do with schematics than it does ability.
If the success rate for 1st Round draft picks is 50%...then why not sign some proven free agents? Instead they drafted 2 tackles that flopped.
We have other issues on the team at LB and some other spots that just get hidden because Geno is so dominant. Guys like Vigil aren't that good at this point.
