Why we are actually a healthy team right now: The Importance of Depth

[PlayerFormerlyKnownAsMousecop]

I thought some of "the sky is falling" people could use some perspective. A post I put in another thread:

"Let me make a list of guys who aren't injured for you.

Carlos Dunlap, Geno Atkins, Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, Adam Jones, Gio Bernard, George Iloka, Kevin Zeitler.

The only important pieces I'd say we're missing atm are Eifert and Burfict. I think Hill is fine and most of the other injuries we have just aren't that significant right now.

So I'd say we have 9 of our top 12 players available (if you include Hill, that's 10), which is saying a lot considering how good our top 12 are versus the top 12 players of most other teams."

In all actuality, we're pretty healthy as far as our starters go. As long as our top players are healthy, this team should continue the success they had last year. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't at this point.
