[QUOTE="Whiskey_Clear, post: 376049, member: 735"] It's been discussed and debated ad nuaseum in the last couple weeks. I'll reiterate what I said earlier. I agree we lack experienced quality depth at OL. When injuries strike and our starters get knocked out, it hurts us. Like most teams not in the top 10. This year we lost our best OT. How many teams can overcome this without missing a beat? It caused us to move one of our best OL from guard to OT. Caused us to start SD rather than play him in stretches and situationally. And it caused a great strength at OG to be weakened as WB was moved around to shore things up. When players rotate in for others, it sometimes causes issues in continuity for a variety of reasons. When the player rotating in is also less effective than the starter, this is compounded. When the guy rotating in is almost as good as the starter the line is better able to adjust to one another. These things can exacerbate missed assignments. It seems pretty obvious to me why. Which is why your assertion that the answer to our lack of depth, recruiting fewer players to those positions, is so perplexing to me. [/QUOTE]
