To act like these weren't alarming losses is absurd.

It's hard for your argument to stick because 1) we don't have 4 DTs out and 2) our run defense gave up 160 ypg and was worse with our starting DTs playing. So the 3 injuries don't really concern me since our run defense was better with the injuries. What concerns me is how bad the run defense looked with the two starters in the game. I'm not sure whats so hard to comprehend about this. 

Folks are looking for anything to make excuses, I get it. But based on what we've seen the first three weeks, the D-line has not been performing poorly due to injury. It performed better once injuries piled up to the current apex.
