In 2020 we started our FB as guard and had zero depth, no camp, bad OL coach, almost forfeited the season due to OL depth. Rex and TD got sacked a ton, started a true freshman who got injured by bad protection. 
In 2016 we had a brand new system and went with tempo for the first time.

As for your questions, I expect the our new OL coach will be a god send along with our RB room. The running game is helpful to sack numbers no matter who it comes from. Eric ran a lot and sometimes those got counted as sacks. TD won't do that as much, but will prob hold the ball too long, even if he's improved in that regard.

Some of it is betting on TD to have learned to hand pressure a bit better (it's his 3rd year, so I think it's possible) while still keeping his INT's down.

* As always, Shrader is the wild card and if things go sideways it will be nice to see him as #2. And even  Lamson/Morgan as #3. A QB injury or poor play at the position won't tank the season. The equation is always OL+QB+Screens/Short passes/Running if you want to be an efficient offense. Last year we were missing all three, outside of Tucker making something out of nothing
