Remember, we are now going into games with Eli Apple as the #1 corner, two rookies and a practice squad guy making up the others. While CTB has the most experience next to Apple, he is now hurt as well, and while he, Hill and George are talented defenders, they are going to be facing some of the best QB's in the league, all without the pass rush of Hendrickson and Hubbard. While we can all hope for the best, the reality is we are very short on defenders and Lou can only gameplan so much.
Need the backups to play well no question for us to win against the likes of Josh Allen and Lamar. Losing Sam hurts big time and like
you said CTB is banged up now who was playing really well. I do like Sample, Gunter and Allen George but it might be unrealistic to
think they can fill the shoes of these guys.
Will need the Offense to score a lot of points to beat the Bills and the Ravens. I think we can beat the Patriots this Saturday though
with what we got. We will see, but yes we need to temper our expectations a bit. We could lose with these player's hurt, we are
getting really thin at End and Corner.

The OL specifically needs called out for how much they've started gelling.
Yes sir, you have been down on Volson specifically Ocho, but he is only a rookie and is playing very well considering.
