I will start with the run defense
Rey Maualuga is such a huge loss he's so vital to a run defense that's why he was unemployed up until
A few weeks ago signed by the Dolphins
Maualugas absence was hardly missed last year
He could not longer shed blocks and stonewall Rbs
He became slow and liability
Peko rarely got into the backfield in 2016 .
How many stops did he make on running downs when it mattered ?
I watched too many 2nd 3rd string Rbs run right up the middle on Peko and Maualuga
The oline is wait and see but it's not gloom and doom
Dalton was sacked once in the preseason
Hill and Mixon had nice holes created
He was unemployed because he was a run stuffer in a passing league. That doesn't negate the fact that he was indeed good at stopping the run.
Peko was a bad pass rusher, but a big guy that took up blockers.
The O-Line lost it's 2 best offensive lineman from a below average line. Best case scenario will be if the playcalling helps to negate the poor line. I do holdout hope that they will improve run blocking...but Whitworth and Zeitler were both really good in that regard.
