Harris was our LT and Schofield was our RT. Clady had season ending injuries 2 out of the last 3 years, and was not the same player for that one healthy year. That's why we traded him away: Upside not worth the contract. Schofield struggled badly. Not surprising because he really wasn't supposed to be in there. He's back where he belongs competing for a back up spot with (most likely) Ty Sombrailo who has starts at LT last year before being injured himself. Stephenson is a better RT.
I have already discussed Malik with you in the past regarding why I am OK with letting him walk. I do regret losing Trevathan and I think that was a mistake. It's my opinion that the Broncos like what they had behind him. They might be concerned with his injury history but they just drafted two guys with injury histories so that's questionable.
I think they would have regressed on Defense even if they kept every single guy and magically made them not be a year older. Last year was one of those historic Defensive runs. You can't expect to repeat that. But they will still be very, very good. They are overhauling the Offense. Not just players but scheme. In theory it is only going to demand from Sanchez the kind of play that was demanded of him when he first came into the league. We'll see. It's going to be a fun ride.
