I'm not sure I agree with your assessment of Junko. He's not going to be an All-American, but I thought he was much better, more consistent, in 2024. He seemed to sacrifice some power for a little more control. Junko logged fewer punts of 50+ yards, but more that resulted in fair catches or landed inside the 20 yard line, than he did the year prior.

It’s no secret that Narduzzi has disappointed the last two years but realistically how bad of a season would he need to have to be fired. It feels like unless it’s another 3-9 season he’ll be back no matter what

I think anything less than 8 wins and his seat would start to get warm. If they miss a bowl game, especially with this roster, then a firing would be on the table, you'd have to think.

Who is the most indispensable on the team? To me if they lost Louis to injury they would still have Biles, lose Eli they have a solid backup in Gonzales but if they lose Reid I just don’t know how you replace what he does and means for the offense.

I agree, Reid is a one-man wrecking crew. I would entertain an argument for Jeff Persi, who I expect to start at left tackle on opening day, but even then you have Kendall Stanley there as a starter-capable back up. The interior of the line -- BJ Williams, Lyndon Cooper, Kieth Gouevia -- is critical too, especially because there is less experienced depth.
