Jarron Jones was touted [still is] as a great OT prospect, but our staff hopefully has more sense than that and grooms him as Tuitt's hoped-for replacement [or KLM's].
Aaron Lynch was crazy in love and that is a legitimate fact and a major reason that he flew south to be with his lovebird. I heard that he had already gotten married to her, so this should get rid of other weird speculations.
I am sure as I can be that if other things were "comfortable", all sorts of guys [Lynch, Prestwood, Shepherd] would like to be taking this ride. All those guys were really good players, but if you go undefeated then by definition you did not need them to go undefeated.
With Lynch departed, KLM and Tuitt have formed the immovable mass around Big Lou that Aaron could not have as effectively done. On passing downs, Aaron would have helped, but not as much since Diaco has unleashed The Prince. We have a defensive line [including Shembo as such] with four players operating at AA levels. Hard to improve much on that.
Watching Stephon and Aaron occasionally make a cream sandwich by simultaneously sacking the quarterback would have been fun, though, too.
