Part 8/15:
Con discusses public criticism of executive Adam Peters’ offseason moves, asserting that the perception of a skipped step in the rebuild is misguided. The team was aware of its roster's age and gaps, especially at the linebacker and offensive line positions. Moving Larry Tonsel for years of stability at left tackle was a strategic decision, and high draft picks like Trey Amis and Josh Connelly show promise but require patience.
He stresses the importance of developing young talent, citing that most offensive tackles take several years to refine their technique. Con highlights that the roster still contains too many veterans in their late 20s, and the goal moving forward should be adding players aged 26-28 who are ready to ascend, creating a core of contributors in their prime.
