[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1069250, member: 10086"] Yes and One recent example I noticed. I happened to watch the Dallas at MN game Week 11? 2022. Was curious to see because 8-1 Vikings had not lost a game at home and Micah Parsons, Lawrence and Armstrong just dominated Cousins and that OL. So much so Cousins began to flinch when no one was around. Even Kevin O. looked just dismayed. However a biproduct of that game was Parsons also looked good against the run. He’s pretty good at shedding and shooting into a nearby RB trying to hit a gap. Further noted was Dalvin Cook who I almost forgot about. The guy used to dominate until about?.. 27yrs old. He was touted as “better than Aaron jones” by many Vikings fans, but reality was Aaron Jones and Cook were near identical (except Cook fumbled much more) until Cook reached ceiling and disappeared at about 28yrs old and just absolutely dropped off a cliff. In the last 2 seasons? Cook has 75 attempts for 234 for 3.12 per carry. These guys get punished and by the time they turn 30yrs even the healthy ones have an injury list of past abuse. Seems like OL and QB can play well into 30’s, but they don’t take the level of abuse that Defenders take imo. The D, they first contend with the OL/TE and then they have to tackle another guy often running full steam using his helmet as a battering ram. In addition today’s TE/RB’s are bigger and faster and that doesn’t help the abuse. Seems like once you click past 30yrs+ old the vast majority of players don’t bounce back quite as quickly when injured. [/QUOTE]
