One key improvement this organization has shown the last few years is their ability to obtain depth. The Cowboys have gotten better at drafting, managing the cap, and managing the roster so that it includes not only quality starters, but also some quality backups.
Every season, injuries hit every team. Some more than others. Good NFL organizations plan for it rather than just hope the injury bug doesn’t hit. Depth is the best prep for injuries obviously, but it’s also easier said than done. Depth is often the difference between being 8-8 and 12-4. It’s a critical piece in planning for success.
I’m pleased with the overall depth of this team and with recent injuries to Michael Gallup, Antwan Woods, and Xavier Woods, I feel much better than in years past that our roster is in better shape to handle injuries.
Fortunately, the injuries to Gallup and both Woods are not season ending. But our good fortune also includes having guys on the roster that can step in and provide quality game time without a major drop off in performance.
When was the last time we could say that about the Cowboys?
