I've been struck by a few different position groups that show we do NOT have sufficient depth.
- There has been a noticeable drop-off in run blocking since Cooper Mays got injured. OL lacks depth, for sure.
- Noticed big-time today, our defensive backfield is much more opportunistic when Theo Jackson is in the game. Others have stepped up, sure, including that young fella with 14 tackles...and we still got some good turnovers today. But you can feel the lack of Jackson. That's a sign of limited depth.
- Tiyon Evans is a stud, and as long as he's in the game we'll be strong at RB...but if he gets injured, with Jabari Small already missing, we don't have the same kind of explosiveness behind those two.
So yeah, we've got some depth in several positions, and significantly more at LB than any of us expected. But we're still dangerously thin in other places.
