are coming back too. Guessing those will be announced later today if they haven't already. Mixed emotions there...
Should be good leaders...both high-character guys. Should bring good experience back to a young '24 team...
Neither are top shelf...but, serviceable.

I think Brinson is pretty good, and we need DL. Truss seems to be a good guy, but his pass blocking isn't stellar. I'm more or less lukewarm on that one - I think I'm ready for someone else out of the next 'generation' take over.

Brinson is top shelf imo - at least in the passing game. Was hurt for most of the year.
Truss - meh. depth at best with some added veteran leadership but Tate will likely be the leader on the OL in 2024 imo.
Very worried about depth at Center. Glad we have Spring to start figuring t hat out.

Truss is a liability, he needs to be gone and replaced with someone better. Now that they are paid to play, they need to play really well or gtfo.

Brinson just isn't the athlete that we are used to. Not saying he doesn't help. He's shown flashes...maybe injury related..hope so. Sure helps for depth. Schollys are getting TIGHT. +

Brinson is borderline elite at rushing the passer IMO - even when hurt. Slightly different story against the run imo. need a big fanny in the middle clogging things up and big fannies are hard to find. We should be ok with scholllys but they aint no more room at the inn. Would expect a few more to leave in the spring.
Cheers DawgNatty. 2 More days as MNCs!!!

I think it's good to have these young men return. And if Kirby wants them, who are we to argue? Experience and depth do help.
