This sounds kinda bad but if forced to lose either Countess or Lewan I'd pick Lewan. Taylor has all of the upside in the world but he can be an idiot at times. Countess is solid, he is more difficult to replace than Lewan IMHO.
Please note, I'm not saying that we have depth at any line, but I believer that we'd be better off with Lewan's back-up instead of Countess' back-up. Unfortunately we were not able to pick and we're stuck with Countess being out, for the season.
Actually, just looking at the AF game I'd rather have Taylor than Countess. AF primarily runs the ball (that damn triple option) so I don't think Countess would have the opportunity to play a very large role. I'm not sure hoe big AF is (actually I'm too lazy to look it up) but having a monster like Lewan in the game should make for some easier running for Fitz/Denard. In the long run I'd still rather have Countess though.
AF will be a challenge but I'm pretty sure we got this. If we do actually lose (Lord I hope not) listen carefully for a scream from Southern California. You should be able to hear me, and poor eggo is gonna need a hearing aid after I rupture his ear drums. Let's pray that doesn't happen.
The sky isn't falling folks.
