Hopkins has been the weakest link, and he is too good to replace just because he is recovering from an injury.
XSF was terrible last game as well. You don't give up this many hits and sacks with a line playing "pretty well". If you believe that, you're living in a fantasy land. At this rate, we'll have the first good line to allow 60+ sacks via RB's, TE's and the QB just making himself get sacked.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
