I think there's a giant difference in defensive ability between Cozens and Olofsson, and I'd much rather have Cozens helping Eakin and Thompson defensively then Olofsson.

There's only 1 thing VO does better than Cozens.

That 3rd (4th?) line is really scary defensively. Hard to be comfortable with Eakin, Tage, or VO and how many ozone starts are left after the top 2 lines take their share?

doubt it.. huge swing of the pendulum coming in 2022

Where? Might be a good chance in the house, but GOP will be defending 20 seats as opposed to the Dems 13 in the senate. And we're not even sure how much of a split, and therefore how much damage, trumpism did to the party. Methinks he did irreparable damage with a split GOP helping the Dems immensely. Lest we forget, the GOP just lost 2 deep red seats in GA.

All of the above is why I would have Cozens on that line over Olofsson.

How about Roots/Eakin/Thompson as a line?

I'm fine, just marching in d.c. right now. 😉

Stopped in Atlanta for directions from the barmaid.

This election was stolen , girgensons injury is part of the deep state.

I think you're going to see Rieder-Eakin-Okposo 12-14 minutes a night and Thompson-Lazar-Cozens deployed sparingly like Vesey-Mitts-Sheary last year

If your top 2 lines are 40+ minutes combined, maybe that's fine.

I have a hard time building a 3rd line that I'd trust at both ends.

It's impossible to do without Girgensons. I think the loss of Girgensons should completely flip their thinking on the bottom-6 toward an offensive-minded approach but I don't see that happening. Theyre going to trot out the Rieder-Eakin-Okposo (REO not-so-speedy wagon line) too much and try to play defense with them. Okposo's numbers without the twins will be brutal

i think olofsson is more than capable of handling defensive responsibilities...you could go with:

hall - jack - reinhart taking on the best that the opposition has to offer
skinner - staal - cozens as a very good second line
olofsson - eakin - okposo as a two-way line
reider - roots - thompson as a low-minute checking-type line

I didn't say he had defensive liabilities.
