43,
I fully agree with your concerns about the O line. Brown missing the first couple (2?) games and Whit’s age. For me, outside of injuries in general, I my biggest conern.
Even though fully unsderstand your concerts with the LB’s, frankly I really not that worried. Tree, athletic as he is, was not a good fit for Wades D. I think PFF ranked him in the 50”s. So don’t think it will be that hard to replace someone who didn’t fit Wade’s scheme. Having said this, I could easily be proven wrong. But, we have added so much talent (DL & CB’s) and we won’t have the learning curve we had last year, i.e. horrid run D to start the season (Skins game painfully comes to mind!).
