That is a list of starters that were lost to injury at some point for multiple games last year IN ADDITION to the position groups (CB, DT, Oline) you mentioned.
Oh, and for good measure, two of the highest paid players on the team were completely useless (Green and Dunlap) and one was a cancer.
If no one can acknowledge the perfect storm of crazy injuries combined with disappearing acts from their top talent, then I give up. It is your choice if you want to just hate the coaches for the result of the field. That is your right. I, for one, love the team they have assembled and can't wait to watch them this year.
And you left out Geno who was less than even a shadow of his old self. Dude just pretty much took up a roster spot last year.
There are excuses for last year, none for this year though. Next man up, but if your starting QB goes down you will lose.
It is very rare you win games with your back up QB especially a guy like Finley. Amazing we beat the Stoolers but that was
because our Defense made turnovers and our OL blocked well in the run game. A lot has to come together to overcome the loss
of a player like Burrow. Hopefully we stay relatively healthy with our starters this season and there are no excuses whatsoever
for Zac or Lou so we can properly judge them. Bet we win a lot of games if this happens. I agree, love the team they have put
together. Should be fun.
