Oh I wasn't blaming Whit. I actually emphasized that I know it's not Whit's fault. I'm just saying that while I'm relieved Whit will be back, it's hard to get overly excited when - as of now - it looks like we'll return the same line that allowed 41 sacks, sans Zeitler (our 2nd best lineman).
Like I said, they have a lot of work to do yet. Namely replacing the C and figuring out solutions at RT and apparently also RG. It currently looks like a giant mess...even with Whit on board.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
