Ok...but there is a noticeable drop off from our starters to their respective backups.

We may have suffered a lot of injuries but what other teams haven't done is leave those positions to such unqualified backups like we have. Our team places too much significance on the quality of its starters and not enough in their backups or overall depth.

Well we have depth at every position, but Oline. Very few can lose their LT. Tell me one team that can.

We have people that fill our roster but I'd be hard pressed calling that depth.

We don't have depth at OL?...that's 5 people right there. We don't have depth at WR, DE, LB, CB. That is too many positions in which we don't have qualified backups or would be in a way worse situation if the starters from those positions went down.


I just don't see the depth that you are seeing on our team.

I see us having depth at WR, RB, CB, DE, DT, QB and good back ups for LB. Just need a starter at SAM.

Yep. And sometimes they overvalue the quality of the starters.
