I hesitate to vote downgrade, at the risk of being negative or living on history, especially given the encouraging edge rush I saw this spring, but this is yet another case of big shoes to fill. It’s the corny sounding, “lunchpail” deal yet again, but Slade had that extra element. Victor was a man among boys, and it was apparent early on. That said, I don’t see any reason to believe Ben Terry won’t be in the same class, or that Kevin Frahm can’t get there; the questions are whether they will make the progress that appears reasonable to expect, and when. I do like Gabe Miller a lot, and expect the coaching staff will find ways to get him on the field.
