Depth serves teams well over course of NFL grind (http://www.nfl.com/trainingcamp/story?template=with-video&id=09000d5d80962efc)

I'm kinda surprised there hasn't been any responses from those that seem to think we're lacking in depth.

Are you really surprised?

Actually no. The crickets I'm hearing in this thread was about what I expected.

Now if the article had blasted the team for not having depth I'm sure we'd have about 50 reponses by now.

I still think the skins have OL DL LB and CB lack of depth. considering that we have an old OL that cant stay healthy. Carlos Rogers isnt 100% and SS cant stay healthy for a whole season. Our LBs there is a huge ? with McIntosh and Washington cant stay healthy. I dont think we have much depth at DL either, if either of our ends go down we are in serious trouble.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find an NFL roster that doesn't lack some depth at a few positions. The key is we suffered through quite a few injuries last year and still managed to make the playoffs. That's a testament to our quality of depth.

I feel like the Taylor trade upgrades the DLine enough to where I'm not too concerned about the depth along the line. I know we lost a starter (who Taylor replaces) and Buzbee who would have been lucky to make the team. I feel like the D Line could be pretty good, but I'm still a little concerned if anyone misses significant time. They have good players for a rotation, beyond that, I'm too impressed with them.

As for Linebackers...I'm stil not sold. I like HB Blades, but can he play outside? Can Washington and Rocky stay healthy? That has be a little concerned. I hope that someone emerges in camp or we bring a veteran OLB.

I really feel fine about the D backs and have never been concerned about the offense. I do have some concerns about the depth of the front 7, but I think this team will be okay.

I think overall we've got great depth. At QB and RB I'm particularly thrilled. I think WR has solid depth now. Once Rogers is healthy I think we're darn deep at CB.

But there are still areas of significant concern. LB is dangerously thin given Rogers' recovery and Marcus being prone to injury. While Reinhart and Heyer give you good depth along the line, center is a big issue too.

You're right in saying that every team is going to have issues, though. Overall, we do pretty well for ourselves, mainly because of our QB and RB situation. Without a 2nd QB and a 2nd RB, you're in trouble in the NFL. We're pretty safe there.

Depth at LB is probably the biggest concern, though I believe Taylor and Wilson are unofficially considered LB depth.

We will have to see if ole TC can fit into a west coast offense. He proved himself last year but he had also been in that system for something like 11 years. Sounds like he is struggling in camp now (which is to be expected this early in camp), hope he catches on
