Our guys started getting injured a couple games into the season and once that happened we sucked, because we had no depth. You have to have depth on the O-Line. The Pats understand this. Why doesn't our front office?

What depth do we have behind the OG's? Norwell and Linder are coming off of injury and Cann has always been the weak link. What if Norwell or Cann get injured again? It's possible.
I really don't know what they would have done. I can never seem to predict what this team will do.

So you are blaming the team for losing 4 out of 5 starters on the OL and not having 4 more starting caliber backups?

We didn't have ANY starting caliber backups. Most teams have 1 or 2.

Injuries hurt this team last year. If it's healthy and Fournette gets his [BLEEP] together? 2017's repeat season could be here again.

It may not be as dominating on defense as it was in 2017 but the improvements on offense could help elevate and motivate the rest of the team.

Have faith.

Those are OT's. I'm talking about the interior. Linder and Norwell are coming off season ending injuries and Cann may not "rock the boat", but he is definitely the weak link on the O-Line and the dropoff to the interior backups behind him, is huge.

Hint: it's mostly guys you never want to have to play at any point

The Pats have better backups than a lot of NFL teams and they are successful.You can never have enough good O-Linemen.
