Everybody keeps hollering depth, and I don't disagree depth is very important and something we're clearly lacking. Hell we're lacking starters, anyways.
Rarely are teams going to have 22 all world 2nd stringers. You're inevitably going to have weak spots, usually several. And it comes down to coaching. Change the scheme up, playcalling, different game plan.
If you #1 CB is out and your best backup is sick and your stuck with a guy with little to no experience you have to go to plan B. You can't run the XYZ defense now you have to be able to adapt and we've pretty much sucked with any ability to adapt.
In my mind our "injury excuse" is way overblown the majority of the time. Every team has to deal with injuries nearly every season.
It comes down to be able to coach around it and we've failed miserably at it.
