Comparing an offensive line that has never played a game together before and has 3 rookies to the greatest line ever constructed is wildly optimistic. It's like the people calling Trey Lance "Patrick Mahomes 2.0".
I think in time they'll be really good to great but comparing them to that line is too much. |

The only part that was optimistic was the OL comparison.
I think this OL will be great if not elite, but that 2003-ish OL had 2 HOFers and Brian Waters who is 26th on Pro Football Reference’s HOF Monitor (so we had 2 top 30 All Time Guards). Roaf is also listed as the 4th tackle on the list. This OL can absolutely be better at C and RT than those teams. Thuney could be in the Waters-Shields conversation someday. Way too early to mention Brown with Roaf. Maybe someday, but not yet. I love what we’ve seen from Smith but let’s see it on Gameday too before we get too excited.

The rest of the comparison was correct if not even a little modest.

I'm talking about this specifically:

Also a little bit this: I'd agree that we'll likely be middle of the pack, but I could see scenarios in which our defense is more in the 20-23 range. |

20-23 range?
![]() This defense was 11th last year and they finally have speed and athleticism at LB. Not to mention the addition of Jarran Reed, and Chris Jones looking like a DPOY candidate. |

We’ll be a top 10 scoring defense. Likely top 10-12 in passing yards. Run defense will be worse than pass defense most likely. Wouldn’t shock me if our total yards allowed was misleading due to giving up a bunch of garbage yards.

And I think Roaf is the best OT I ever saw, hands down. Shields might well be the best OG I ever saw too. Situationally speaking, I think it's optimistic to think that this line may well play as equal to that one. But not wildly so. The skill position talent is so different that we'll never really be able to compare it. Mahomes may well make Brown, Thuney, and company look the equals of Roaf and Shields whether they're that good or not. as for the defense, the only way that defense is 20-23 range is a ton of injuries to key players. If they remain relatively healthy, it's a borderline top ten unit, in my opinion. And that's assuming that the increase in LB talent is offset by inexperience. And assuming that Veach hits on 50% of his first round CB reclamation projects. I don't think that's wildly optimistic, I think that's a reasonable expectation. |

Thornhill still isn't ready, which means Sorenson and possibly an UDFA in Keys will see significant playing time. We've got more depth and talent at LB but neither Gay nor Bolton are proven. Frank Clark and the depth at DE2 are question marks. But, yeah, injury would be the biggest issue. If either Chris Jones or Mathieu go down for any extended period, our defense could take a noticeable dip. |
