And last season LAR only returned 5 starters from that SB winning defense, and basically AD was out there on the DL alone when he was playing. That's why his production went down, not because of some pseudo-magical "turning 30" issue. Opposing teams simply double- or triple-teamed AD, and went 1v1 on the rookie DEs.

Go look at the track record of modern DT’s (Donald, Atkins, Cox, Sapp, etc.) and how they performed after their age 30 season and then get back to me.
Father time is undefeated. Especially when it comes to DT’s in the NFL.
