I think I would question was a player like JT trotted out each week being man handled every game because there was no better alternative, nothing in the pipeline, no body they could bring in to assess, JT's CDN and the least of our worries OR it was never considered replacing him because JT was going to play as he earned his stripes he goes out on his terms and we adjust the D scheme to compensate for this? If it's the latter, that's a different discussion to be had.
Imo some here gloss over this and underestimate it's impact on team dynamics and success. I'm obviously not suggesting our season failures land squarely on JT's shoulders not even close I hope he understands how appreciative we are in what he has done for this team and him bleeding Blue and Gold but when dissecting the season, performing it's autopsy, I think it's a little bit more complex we didn't have the upgrades available to replace our existing underperforming talent with little in season options available to us to adjust as needed.
