Details man, we must have details from your neuroses if we're going to find and antidote.letekro said:Anyone worried that we only have 4 healthy DL (I'm not counting Marquise Hill, for good reason, I think)?
Especially w/ the Altitude?
Especially w/ the dual burdens of the Denver running game and Jake's roll-outs?

Here's the starting line-up for the Jacksonville game: Seymour - Wilfork - Warren
Designated pass rusher: Green
Active: Hill
Inactive: Klecko, Thomas
Emergency DL (college DLs): TBC, Chad Brown, Willie, Vrabel, Rosie, Bruschi, Beisel
Repeated at Denver looks like this: Why you discount Hill you haven't stated, discounting Thomas...he played well in Training Camp before getting injured and being cut...he was brought back to the Practice Squad...he played alongside Wilfork at Miami (should work okay together).
If one of our DL is injured we can substitute, for example:
Seymour injured is replaced by Green or Hill - not much drop off against the run - Hill won't be in on obvious passing downs anyway.
Wilfork injured is replaced by Seymour at NT, Green or Hill takes DE - not much drop off.
Warren injured is replaced by Seymour, Green or Hill takes LDE - not much drop off.
One of the starting three DL injured - you can go 4-3 using Willie and Colvin at DE with Bruschi and Vrabel rotating at MLB. The two remaining DL move to DT.
Two of the starting three DL injured - you go to 4-3, with the remaining DL at DT alongside Green or Hill.
I think BB can cope with whatever disaster crops up.
C'mon now, 30-35 and Detroit wins too.letekro said:None of those scenarios work to assuage my fears.
While he may have potential, Hill has shown nothing to suggest that he can be an effective player in the here and now. Hill IS that much of a drop off.
Last year, it was nice to have Traylor around to spell Wilfork. Even Wright was valuable for a few plays a game before he got hurt.
I guess i'm not saying anything new here. Bottom line, If the Broncs run the ball 30-35 times they'll win.
