I am not arguing that backups are not important, only that we hopefully won't rely on them nearly as much.

Interesting, then, that the two guys who kept their jobs on the OL from last year were not really our best performers, but rather, the two guys who managed to start 16 games each next to each other.
There's probably something to that, I would think.
