[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 710539, member: 10441"] They had Gronk out and Bennett in, not a huge drop off in the TE position in terms of talent on the field and the mismatches they can create. Other than that, they were about as healthy as any team has ever been that late in the season. and yes, all teams deal with injuries, but not all situations are the same. We had a lot of injuries that weren't severe enough for IR, which then created problems when it came to roster spots because the backups then had injuries of their own. So do you just start cutting your young talent you're developing for a has been that nobody else wants and won't be with your beyond a partial season anyway? or trust your staff to get them healthy enough to play. and I'm not waiting for a magical year with no injuries, but it is no coincidence that the 2 teams at the end were largely intact teams from the halfway point on. I don't care what the final numbers some stat mill rolls out, when you're that deep into a secondary with players moving in and out of the lineup every half for weeks on end, it's not the same as losing one player for 8 weeks and having his replacement fill in. It's just not. We had safeties playing DB positions at times a long with our 2 best pass rushers with a broken hand and a shoulder need surgery, oh, and we lost 2 starting ILB's for a good portion of the time, and they also went out later again with injury after coming back. yes teams deal with injuries, not many deal with what GB had to do last year in terms of the constant revolving door and how deep they had to go at certain positions on a regular basis, and none were as successful if they did have to deal with it. anyway, i'm not writing off the young defensive players yet. Just like I wasn't ready to write off Adams after showing what he was capable of and then being constantly injured and looked completely different physically in his 2nd year. considering we need pass rushers and secondary and probably another DL for rotation to develop and then the offensive side to start developing and step in at the skill positions, i doubt he just fixes it all in the draft either, but I do think he's more than capable of finding defensive players to make us better.
