But in terms of White vs Bush, I preferred White.

I fully expect the run defense to get better when Geno is back btw.
While Geno gets praise (rightfully so) with his pass rush ability, he's been solid against the run for many years.
He's had a 70+ PFF rating against the run since 2015.
Having better DL play will definitely help the LBs.

As for Sample, he's run blocking very well right now. 3rd best run blocking TE in the league right now according to PFF.
He's giving me more confidence in his receiving ability this year compared to when he was drafted.
He's on pace to have 400+ yards this season, and it could get up to between 600-700 by season's end if he averages 45 yards a game. I picked 45 yards because that's about what he had in Games 2 and 4. Games 1 and 3 only had 1 reception each, so hopefully we don't see that happening much moving forward.

Same about Jonah.

Awesome post man, I thought the same about White vs. Bush myself. I just think Bush went to a better Defense and DC.

Agree on Geno and didn't know Sample has run blocked THAT well, impressive. Think Sample could be a good one with Burrow.
