Defense is legit. Two very good DTs + good enough pass rushing depth. One very solid veteran LB + a number of talented young guys who should be ready to ball... this is the biggest question mark. If Heard/Shuler can get it done at SS we might have the best secondary in the country because the CBs are LEGIT.

OL big question mark. RB really good, TE good, QB hopefully good. WR much improved. Should be a fun team. Probably the most complete team since 2015 *as long as* the OT situation works out.

Cracks me up some of the adjectives guys use to describe a player. Violent, angry, angry hands.

We all sure Heard's first name isn't Arthur?

If the 2024 ND team's Achilles heel turns out to be LT after a run of Martin, Stanley, McGlinchey, Eichenberg, and Alt.....I will be displeased

I said this earlier but I think you'll see a bunch of different OL best 5 before they get it situated.

Best coordinator duo at ND since.....................?

When we say "team" I consider the coaching staff, and BVG at DC is why this Team IMO is better on paper.

Why would you be worried about LT ( as long as jagusah is healthy)? I think he showed he's a future stud tackle.

Concern IMO should be right tackle. Baker did some good things, but he also struggled big time with movement.

RT and the other guard spot is the concerning spot on the line. I'm not at all worried about Jagusah.

The ideal situation would be Wagner gets his weight up and slots in at either LT or RT. If he's 6'6 300, then I think he'll be fine. If Eichenberg can play at an All-American level at 6'6 300, Wagner shouldn't have much issue either.

At guard, they go a few different ways. Ideally, I'd like Spindler back and either he or maybe Pendleton replace Coogan at LG. Unlike tackle, I think you want some beef at guard. Either that, or swap Craig and Coogan, because Craig and Schrauth are both mean-spirited physical maulers.

The more nasty on the line, the better.
