I forget which team I was wathching the other day, but they were down to their second and third string corners, and we're still holding up well in pass coverage.
All I'm saying is the question isn't whether or not your key guys get injured, it's how well you manage through those injuries. Who's stepping up to fill the role. The good teams seem to always find a way and the mediocre ones don't.

I'm not disputing that injuries are a part of the NFL.
I'm just saying they are a factor, a factor for every team. Some teams can fight through but it all depends on the severity of the injuries and what key guys are hurt.
