I get your point. I do think we've been lucky in some injuries but also have good depth.
My point was, with Newman at 100% (which is probably coming soon) you wouldn't want him to just play nickel, would you? We all are thinking it will me Newman Left and Henry Right?
Why would Ellis not get back his starter spot though? Do you think he will, getting almost as many sacks in 9 plays as Spencer did in 4 games, or will we leave Spencer in that spot?
Oh no-Newman can cover HALF the field, if anything-I found it funny for 3 years, we dogged him for being so-called "over-rated", but when he got his injury, we saw the silver linings and saw how really under-rated he is. As for Henry, he's far from perfect, but he's big, physical, and has a nose for the ball. To me, I have alot to criticize with him, but he matches up very well with alot of WRs in this league b/c of his instincts.
As for Ellis-at least he'll be a nice rush specialist on passing downs for now-you saw his impact in the Rams game. I would love for him to start again, but for now, his presence is felt pretty well.
