[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 500660, member: 2232"] We proved in 2010 that you can survive a lot of losses (IR) and still come out on top. But there are guys more important than others. We learned the hard way how important Nick Collins was, Cullen Jenkins was, Desmond Bishop was. Finley proved not as important as feared. Woodson was very important, as evidenced in the Super Bowl game where the defense had a bottle on the Steelers for 29 minutes, but the 31 after his collar bone, it was totally different back there, as I saw in person and as the Big Ben passer rating before & after CW's departure showed. On that note, let's see each of you rank the top 10 guys in terms of indispensible. If we lose guys, these are the key 10 I think we need, and some of course are obvious. Also remember we are down to 3 veteran WRs. If we lose 1 or even 2 of them, it could get to the point where it was for Favre when Freeman and Brooks went down, when you have to rely on stiffs like Billy Schroeder, Mark Ingram, Sonjay Beach, etc. So I think those 3 WR's are very important to the synch of this offense. [LIST=1] [*]Rodgers [*]Matthews [*]Cobb [*]Burnett [*]*Perry [*]Raji [*]Jordy [*]Tramon [*]Bulaga [*]Sitton [/LIST] *How the hell can I have Perry so high? Well this is why. I think the guy's upside is tremendous, Lamar Woodley potential --and if he hits that potential or close to it, this defense will rocket up another level. I almost put Datone Jones in that same category. Burnett is crucial because he's the captain back there, no Woodson, and behind him are all unproven youngsters. If Burnett goes down (remember he tore an ACL his rookie year and missed the whole season), that's all we'll be left with at S1, 2, 3 with the youngsters McMillian, Jennings, Richardson. I think EDS is very important too. If we get good center play, it will help the running game and Rodgers. Don't know who will win the RT position. Sam Shields was next on my list. With his speed, when his game is on, he's a weapon back there as Jay Cutler has learned the hard way. Raji needs to play well in the middle. Jordy is really the only deep threat with any experience, but it's harder for him to get deep now that the DB's don't take his pigment for granted like they did the first few years. Tramon needs to play smarter. Bulaga & Sitton are being counted on to anchor the important blind side now for the Franchise so they have to be good/great. [/QUOTE]
