The concern in my mind is that at least three players are playing below the level they were last year, one dramatically below.  Guys who used to overpower the guys across from them are playing them to a draw.  Maybe it is due to trying to do too much; we continue to have a big hole in one position and it may be that guys are trying to make up for it instead of worrying about their own man.  But I am concerned that from 2017 to 2018 several guys are playing weaker than they used to be. If it were one player, you might wonder about an injury. But when most of the line is down, you have to ask about systemic factors.
