With Andrew and Skov, we will pull in great offensive skill players and linebackers. Without the horses in the trenches, it won't matter. We've seen that movie before and Andrew lived it during his tenure with the Colts.
As for the portal, money talks right now. Clearly Old Union has opened things slightly for transfers and the Post Bac is a helpful new tool to offer a path for grad transfers. I too am very curious about how Tavita and team do with this cycle.
Luck was sacked 80 times his first three years. Elway was sacked 90 times his first three years. Plunkett was sacked 112 times his first three years. Trent Edwards was considered to have been beaten up, he was sacked 58 times his first three years. Davis Mills was sacked 62 times his first two years, then his playing time fell way off, basically to near zero.
No idea how often Brodie was sacked. His first three years, sacks weren't kept as statistics. next three years, 65 sacks...and he led the league in sack percentage (fewest sacks) five times in a 17 year career.
