It was an enormous chance that happens to be paying off. They get by with alot of chances because of Chris Jones.
We're a hard defense to run on but the only
quality cog against the run at DT is Pennell and, hopefully, he doesn't wear down.
Wharton playing beyond his normal gives solid balance. Jones is still Jones and Nnadi still is ass.
All except Jones are on one-year contracts, of which the only one you're likely trying to bring back next year is Wharton.
One of those rookies from 2023 would be paying dividends now and for the next few seasons. I think the two things can be relatively exclusive. Just because the route Veach took is working (pray nothing happens to Jones), doesn't mean he probably shouldn't have built the depth there the past couple of seasons to be a little more future-looking.
