[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 680831, member: 9033"] No, I'm simply pointing out that when a defense is missing four starters it will naturally perform below the level that it would perform should those four starters actually be playing. It's pretty straightforward and yet everyone seems to believe that Micah Hyde should be as good as Burnett (even though he's not) and that Hyde's backup should then be as good as Hyde while Randall should be as good as Shields (which he's not) and that Rollins should be as good as Randall (which he wasn't last year but Randall hasn't really set the bar that high this year). Additionally, people think that Clark should be as good as Guion and that Clark's backup (who doesn't exist) should be as good as Clark at NT and that's REALLY tough since that player doesn't exist and I've never heard of somone who doesn't exist being as good as someone who does in fact exist. Why am i pointing out such obvious facts? Because it's not only the guys replacing the missing starters that hurts, it's the fact that all the subpackages get screwed up since Capers has no decent players to change up the defense with. It also hurts in the second half of games when guys are playing more snaps than they should be because Casper the Ghost is backing up Clark at NT and Casper, while he tries hard, doesn't actually exist and therefore you can't actually play him. And as for Shields dropping INTs...let's remember there was a reason that the Hurricanes switched him from receiver to CB. [/QUOTE]
