Having said all of that our depth at Oline is worrisome. I'm not crazy about the guys behind the big 3 WR's. I'd like to get another CB in here.
But It's pretty much always gonna be a worry.
OL is the least concern. We went to the SB with a bunch of no names and guys that should not be starters or weren't ready to be. Add in the 3 guys we signed as FA's and you bumped several of last years starters and guys that played alot to the bench. You have players with lots of reps that if called upon have already been thru two intense playoff road games and a SB.
Most teams in this league don't have great depth. Great teams can lose 1-2 starters and whatever strengths that had can become vulnerable. I also expect the guys that played extensively on the OL to come back stronger, in better shape and eager to play. Certainly nice to have had a taste of the success from a year ago.
