I haven't seen this many injuries to the offensive line in one season. It was pretty brutal. The strength and conditioning position needs to be addressed this week. They may even want to consider adding onto that department to get this team back in shape for 2019.

As bad as it was this year. We can only hope the only way is up in 2019. I don't care if they drop the 7th overall pick for Haskins or Grier. But they need to get the QB position right this time. They have another 2nd RD pick and a pair of 3's to move up with if they feel they can secure another OL, WR, RB or TE. But if the first three to four picks are not on offense I will be pretty shocked.

I thought 2008 was bad when in the first game of the year we lost the entire interior before halftime. LG Vince Manuwai torn ACL out for the year, C Meester Triceps injury - missed over half the season, RG Maurice Williams injured and out for the year.

This season has been far worse. It's not just injuries it's that injuries slammed very specific positions. The whole starting Oline was out at one point. but we went through 4 LT's, we lost all 3 TE's we brought to training camp, we lost our top 2 RB's and our 3rd RB (Yeldon) played hurt, against the Eagles Jalen played hurt and we were missing our 4 other CB's ... we started 2 guys off the street at CB2 and Nickel that game. And our WR's have been banged up after losing our best WR in preseason.

I thought 2008 was bad, and I knew we'd regress to the mean in terms of injuries but this year was just absurd. maybe the "tough training camp" wore them down a little too much and left them more susceptible to injury?? We were 3-1 and beat a VERY GOOD Patriots team before the injury bug hit.
