This. Absolutely give credit where it's due. And yes, this should be the litmus test.
NC I am struck by NYG getting demo'd last night, and they have been investing in OL like crazy. Any thoughts? I know they are dealing with a lot of injuries, that may be the issue up front. It was brutal.
On the subject of tiers, I think SF would be top tier at this point. Near or at top tier.
Well, investing a lot doesn't mean you've invested correctly.
Yeah, as to tiers, I could easily see rising up the 12 in tier 2 quickly, at least in terms of production.
But be careful. Fans are complaining about Wilks because teams are getting rid of the ball so quickly the DL is almost obsolete. Our offense does the same. Runs very well (credit to the OL here too) and Brock has nearly the fastest time to throw release. That can mask the actual talent on the OL and help make them obsolete too.
At some point, the talent level will need to stand on its own when the formula isn't working well. And this weekend will be another great test into seeing the truth.
