Danna and Wharton are probably pretty average.
Plus, we likely need to change a lot of what we do on defense to manufacture pressure in other ways which creates voids elsewhere. It’s just a lot more pressure on the rest of the defense and other blind spots created, and that’s not something that WAR is going to be good at capturing.
I think it’s insane to feel like having him or, say, some combination of Danna/Wharton is nearly immaterial to our end of season record.

It would be much less of an issue if Omenihu weren't also suspended.
