You can't keep losing starter quality and get rookies or guys on their couch to suddenly match that level. Yes you could improve depth but no team plans for using your 6th and 7th DB's at the start of the season.

Or our 4th and 5th TE or our 3rd or 4th LT.

LT is such an important position. You're lucky if you have 1 good one on your roster and we are down to undrafted guys and Erik Flowers who hasn't seen the field.


Exactly, we have our back up C at LT! We have a few guys like Reed, Wells, Walker who can plug and play a few different spots but none of them are starters for a reason. And when you factor in some of the 'RE that we have been up against, I don't know how much more we can expect from Walker.

TE last year, we had Mercedes refinding some youth and had a really good year. This year it hasn't really done much for us and I like ASJ and O'Shaugnessey is just a worker, but injuries have just destroyed it. Grinnage starting 2 weeks after joining! It's crazy. Plus it's the knock on effect with pass blocking, run blocking, any pass play with a TE route, can they run that route? That then starts affecting the playbook and how much you can use. 

That's the problem with injuries, you can plug one or two but more than that means changing how you play.
