Is there some rule I’m unaware of that says that we have to resign the same bum backups that always get abused every time they see the field.  Maybe it’s called the Brown rule.  

Hell some of our starters couldn’t make a team elsewhere you trust this coaching staff at this point to have a serviceable backup?

Are you aware that two the three guys available to replace the two injured linebackers are rookies?  Are you aware the available replacements for the injured safety is a second year guy or the fifth corner on the depth chart?  Why would you think subtracting 5 of the 11 defenders would lead to a performance on par with, or better than, the regular first unit?
