I agree with you about this one being a rare good read from the O now days. As I often try to catch a quick Ducks while at work I hastily started reading this one without even paying attention to who wrote it. Halfway through I checked the author as I was surprised the article was written well.

Picking up a solid B1G transfer should seemingly be really helpful. I loved his quotes and confidence on the matter of the Ducks transitioning to play against the big lines.

While it is a valid question of whether the line can stop the run there is reason for optimism. Depth is certainly a concern as well.
