Usually D is ahead of O at this point because D relies more on athleticism and O relies more on coordination, timing, and repetition, especially at the O line level. Having an experienced line mitigates some of that. Add in having an enormously talented O line and a suspect D line and it’s not surprising to hear whose winning in practice. It’s just hard to know if this is an elite O line beating an average to good D line or a good O line beating a bad D line. We’ll find out in the fall.
