I don't know that much about Celmson, so I didn't know that. It shocks me the Skalski is coming back. He was a stud. I figured for sure he would go NFL.

Justin Foster and Xavier Thomas were both starters at DE in 2019, and both return -Foster missed all of 2020.

I'm sure they are good, but do you really think they are that much better than Henry and Murphy? I mean, like I said....great depth, but probably not a huge upgrade.

quote:
Lyn-J Dixon is a big drop-off from Etienne. I think it will be RB by committee, and I hope one of the freshmen emerges to help solidify that position.

I like what I have seen of Dixon. I think he will take the lead. It's just really, really hard to get the kind of production and continuity that Etienne gave you. He was really, really good. While he was heralded, I still think he was underappreciated by a lot of people.

I too was surprised. I think he wants to prove he can get through a playoff game without a targeting ejection.

I don't see anyone starting over Murphy. Thomas needs to be more consistent, which is a trademark of Foster's. I think depth is the main benefit, as you suggested.

Lyn-J runs too upright and dances around too much. If he gets in the clear, he can take it to the house, but is nowhere near the complete, physical back that Etienne was.
