Meh. Lopez did not play at all last season, the definition of a non-factor. If he had stayed at DL, people would have been using him as an example of good depth. Tonz? Maybe a somewhat valid point.

I've always said this is Mac's defense from an X's and O's standpoint and he's had his hands on game planning, personnel, etc. from day one. Playcalling is a big part of a defense's success, to be sure, and that's the one part he hasn't had a direct role in (although, I'm willing to bet he makes general recommendations on broader play calling strategy during the course of a game). Eliot should get a ton of praise if the defense is good in 2017, and they both should get some heat if it's actually bad (not just a little worse than last year).
We return a lot on OL. I posted somewhere the other day that the OL and DL were looking forward to getting after it. That was in response to an OL member confiding that the DL they go against is a big challenge in practice.
Always felt that Landman had the best chance of playing early just because he is likely to be able to play fast and not be overthinking. JVD and Wells have got to be drinking thru a fire hose. Not sure if JVD made it up much in the spring for LB meetings, which would have helped. Landman's film always looked like a guy who'd step in pretty easily and be able to handle the mental part. I like all 3 guys though a lot.

It will definitely be interesting and exciting to watch. I think you had a prior post asking about why Evan's name changed from White to Worthington. Evan was raised by his mom and her maiden name is Worthington. She married and the husband adopted Evan when Evan was 15. Evan changed his name to White at that time. Evan's mom is now divorced and has gone back to her maiden name. Evan is doing the same and Evan's 10 month old son has the last name as Worthington. Everyone's good now with the change.
