My favorite part of this podcast was Lance forgetting Jacob Mangum-Farrar's first name, twice.
Less sarcastically, the extent to which injuries ravaged the defense really was something last season. You could hear it in the interview. So many practice opportunities missed, valuable reps missed, starters forced to play every down without rotating. By the end of the season every position except DL was held together with sticks and scotch tape. One hidden benefit to missing the second half of spring ball is the team should report for offseason conditioning the healthiest it's been in years. (And we didn't have to sit through another non-spring game with only 5 healthy OL!)
Interestingly, IIRC, the first name Lance mentioned when asked about young players to watch out for was Nic Toomer. Didn't expect that.
