A really lucky team can overcome a lack of quality depth. A team beset by a rash of injuries, particularly late in the season or post-season, will have a hard time producing a Lombardi.

In any event, after Gibbs retires I expect a roster purge that reshapes our team and its cap situation.

Our decision is basically to take the purge in 08 and 09, or in 09, 10, and 11. Either way, this issue is going to force itself within the next 5 years. Like any problem, the quicker it is addressed, the easier it will be for us all.
