Not making sure they got Von was an enormous mistake because it is their model that put them in the situation they were in. He was a requirement for this defense. They were terrible before we traded for him in the Super Bowl season. The signs were there.
Also I think they badly miscalculated at LT. Boom was getting worked over before the injuries started up with the line. They were springing leaks all over the front. That was a collaborative error with all involved too I think, full team failure from OL coach to GM.
This is why I think McVay is such an important part of the conversation here. He was freshly married last offseason, riding the high of the Super Bowl, and making assumptions all over the joint with the roster. It started with him and I am sure he blames himself and I think the guy is going to come roaring back this season even with a lesser roster.
I don't think we're going to win 10+ games necessarily. But he is going to re-establish We Not Me and the team identity that got them that title. It's gonna look a lot different than last season even with lesser pieces IMO.
an aging super star with injury history and some crazy crazy money on his contract....probably a disaster had he resigned unless he could play LT or G last year
