[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 838851"] You evidently did not look at the link in the my post just above yours. There are quite a few guys who were not "who's that?" players that missed half the games or more. If it was "next man up" then why assume it would not be this time? Wait, I know the answer. 2010 had a very strong defensive core playing at the peaks of their careers: Raji, Matthews, Jenkins, Hawk, Woodson, Collins and Tramon Williams, a group that missed only three games between them, all Jenkins. Then Harris came off PUP midseason for the run. The QB and WRs were a strong offensive core as well even if the Finley dynamic wasn't replaced. Good O-Line with only Taucher missing the back half of the season. The notable "next men up" were Bishop for Barnett (addition by subtraction in my opinion), and Starks taking over the #1 RB position though that was a Jackson performance issue not an injury situation. In short, the key difference between then and now is the 2010 team had a very strong roster and nearly all the core difference makers missed few games. You might say that team underperformed getting to 10-6 were it not for the lousy running game before Starks was installed. This roster? A lot of new vets and unproven talent which makes getting to that critcal mass of core high performers a question mark. [/QUOTE]
