It seems that depth is one thing, but players off the street is another...
We had a lot of guys that were completely unheard of before the season that were starters at many times this season.
That hadn't gone through the off season, hadn't practiced under the coaching or with the other players, hadn't gone through training camp, hadn't 'lived with' the playbook, etc.
It would be one thing to have the 2nd stringers filling in for lost starters. At least they know the playbook, team, coaches, etc. But, so many guys off the street?
This is the ultimate team sport. How in the world can you be a team and beat other teams with this type of situation?
We weren't the only team with injuries - get that... But, how many guys did those other teams have to pull off the street to start vs using their 2nd stringers?
