Generally fair assessment, except this:

The front seven certainly should be vulnerable to a successful rushing attack: despite returning plenty of pieces in the middle from 2018, the guys they are bringing back didn’t have much success.

Like, we bring back 0/2 ILB's and 1/2 safeties in the middle.  On the other hand, many of the guys we are bringing back (Adebo, our OLB's, Booker) are on the outside and are pretty good!

I think that assessment is VERY fair and justified. One of our two starting ILBs is only 225 - reminds me of Jordan Perez. Pryts had be a hell of a lot better at being in the right position, something Perez never got right often enough. And neither of our safeties is even 205. 

NU's starting RB - aptly named Bowser LOL - is 215. He's a bit of a bruiser but not a 225lb bell cow. But he's big enough to give our defensive middle fits. Williams at NT is going to regularly have to eat up 2 linemen. If they can single-block him we are in big trouble - like Ron Dayne in the second half of the 2000 Rose Bowl kind of trouble.
