Youāre operating under the assumption that Q, Coop and Riq will be 100% healthy for the duration of the entire regular season.
Our depth behind them is dogshit, āserviceableā is an overstatement, jury is out on Carter or a 32 y/o Jonathan Jones, we know what we donāt have in Kelee Ringo and Jakorian Bennett.
Weāve been relatively lucky that Coop and Q havenāt missed extended time, but if you lose even one of them for sometime, you donāt feel confident in the steep dropoff in talent in our secondary.
Thatās just kind of the nfl, though. CB is probably the 3rd worst position to lose behind QB and OT. Teams that lose their starting CBās get their asses eaten.
Not saying we should do nothing, but thereās only so much you can do in the event of an injury bug. Injury luck is one of the main ingredients to a successful NFL season
See this is the Eagles delusion Iām talking about lmao. Thatās true for pretty much EVERY team in the NFL.
Texans are widely considered the most stacked defense in the NFL. Here are their backup CBs: Alijah Huzzie, Tremon Smith, and Jaylin Smith.
Do you know who any of those guys are without googling? Cause I fucking donāt. Mfs act like we should have All-Pros starting and then Pro Bowlers as backups.
The Lions secondary the past two seasons have been decimated with injuries yet their backups held their own, even against us last season, guys named Rock-Ya Sin and Amik Robertson locking up our WRās.
The 9āers were damn near without most of their starters on offense and key defensive guys on defense for much of the last year, still got through us.
The better coached teams tend to be able to makeup for when key guys go down. Weāre talented on paper, but when one cog in the machine goes down, itās almost like weāre unable to coach through it, I donāt recall the exact metric but our win-loss record with and without Lane is pretty night and day.
Their backups doing well vs our dogshit pass offense doesnāt mean anything. They were 20th in the league in pass defense last year lmao. 49ers were like 25th.
Sorry. If a team is decimated by injuries to the secondary and 30% of the league is playing worse psss defense than they are, Iād say they have some pretty good depth at db. 11th in ints as well. When said secondary locks down Devonta smith and AJB both under 50 yards and no scoresā¦ well thatās something to be proud of. Eagles fans are proud when their all pro cb shuts down guys, itās only fair that other fans be proud when their dbs shut down our recievers.
The eagles offense looked like shit is cuz teams were shutting them down early and often. Donāt take that away from defenses. Opposing teams donāt care if your OC is ass, they still show up to do a job.
You can appreciate the team without having blind homer goggles on all the time, if you only pay attention to your own team and disregard others then your opinion isnāt going to hold much weight.
I absolutely get what youāre saying. We all know about other players.
But nobody besides you is talking about our strongest and deepest unit and saying other teams are better situated lol.
Sorry my guy, but even if one of our 3 goes down, weāre literally back to what our starters were last year. And midway through the season we were fine there.
