I'm just not sure what to think, when it comes to Hollins.
He's a high-effort guy.. great, great length and he's a really good athlete. Not spectacularly strong and hasn't shown any real bend on the corner.
I agree that he doesn't "scare" anyone, but he sure keeps them honest and he has the wheels to be a factor against QBs like Murray when they break contain. In a division with him and Lance, I think that's probably a plus. It wouldn't shock me to see, if he gets a full season in, Hollins finish with double-digit sacks. Let's be clear, though.. a lot of that will be simply because he's playing on a line with Donald, Floyd and Gaines.
What helps him of course is AD. So maybe we get enough production there vs most teams but as you hit the playoffs that dropoff from what Von gave us will be felt. Will we get enough heat from that front to win 4 straight in the playoffs?
It's our only real weakness. Our biggest weakness.
RB has questions too, but McVay likes pass catchy guys and we just won a Super Bowl without a run game so I'd feel like an asshole trying to make a big deal of it. It does bother me though.
LT might hurt us in the playoffs. But we gotta roll with Boom and hope he kills it. I don't think he's going to do well vs Von in the opener, for the record. That's a matchup clearly in Buffalo's favor assuming the Von we saw in the playoffs shows up. Same with SF in the fourth game or whatever, with Bosa, who has a ton of power to his game which is Boom's weakness. I figure Boom will fare well vs the speed types, it's going to be the guys with power to their game that threaten him so not all that many but we're gonna see them.
Safety was a weakness last year but maybe some of that was Morris settling in too. I don't think we're great there but I also don't see it as a weaker than the other teams kind of thing.
We're basically the team that has almost everything. So not like I'm trying to make a big deal of it but clearly we're not quite there at edge, at the very least a lot of question marks.
