I'm always looking for the silver lining and as you said, these young guys are about to see a trial by fire. We're going to get a good look and find out exactly what we have.
I think the staff can coach around DO's absence to a certain extent. DA and Nielson are going to get creative and figure out how to generate pressure up the middle without DO. We could see some 3 man fronts and some 4 DE looks.
