I have no idea why Havenstein declined this year. Vinny believes he’s been playing hurt.
My idea is both Havenstein and Whitworth had to not only deal with their positions BUT had to keep an eye out for the guy next to them and help out. That has a ring of logic to me....
Who knows?
My point is that it’s shortsighted to believe that ANYONE on the OL would be immune to a decline in performance.
Well it's also impossible to act that way. (This is one reason why I don't play "armchair blame-game." As often as not, it's just asking for the impossible as if that were the same as setting standards.)
That would mean every team would have to have 2 entire sets of ready to play, starting caliber linemen. Heck it's probably impossible for all 32 teams to have even 1 complete set of those.
BTW I don't think Hav declined because he was "helping out." That doesn;t explain his poor play. Especially since he was playing next to a vet.
I think it's clear that what happened is that the 2 OTs regressed all on their own.
