Tyrone legend Peter Canavan says the loss of several members of last year's panel played a large role in the failure of the Red Hand to retain their All-Ireland championship.

The loss to Armagh on Sunday means that Tyrone are the first reigning All-Ireland champions to exit the Championship without winning a game since the inception of the back door in 2001.
