I think 8-10 may be a little low, but I 100% agree with you on the OL and the need to buy Trevor time and give him a pocket. 

WAAAYYYY too many snaps last year offered him no pocket to step into and well under the standard 2.5 seconds to get rid of the ball.

The protection was not good, but the play calling and Trevor's ability to dance out of trouble and get a pass off made things happen. 

On this topic: I've noticed a couple of articles popping up wherein analysts are talking about how and why Ridley will thrive in a Pederson/Lawrence offense. I have no doubt he will thrive, but it won't be for the reasons they outline in these articles unless this 2023 line protects better than last year's version.
