The goal is of course limiting dropoff as much as possible. We're gonna have that, going from what Von was giving us to depth types. Question is can you sort these guys in roles and get the most from them.
First off they can't really rely on Lewis because the Rams have to hold him out of a ton of things just to try to keep him healthy. Lewis might factor in, but at some point he'll miss games so he's an ancillary rotation piece to my mind rather than a key guy in the rotation. And if he kills it and finally lives up to that talent level then it's a lottery win.
So Hollins is going to get a ton of early down snaps and I imagine he works hard on his contain this year in camp. Brayden Thomas might be able to earn a role here with the stout edge he sets, if he can do that plus show on teams there's room for him.
But the real question is what do you do on passing downs. That leaves Garrett and Hardy. Both those guys needed technique work coming in. Garrett no idea what he's learned in his redshirt season. Hardy hopefully will bust his ass in camp, but if he does the guy has the raw traits you want. If Henderson can make one of these guys a plus rotational rusher he's earned his paycheck. I think it's possible but not likely or anything so ideally we will start hearing good reports on either of these guys early and often once camp starts.
