God forbid DJ goes down....
what is our contingency plan?
I think Inside LB depth is a huge freaking need. I cannot take another year of the Sabby situation - at any position. Our depth was reinforced in some key spots this draft; namely T and G. Of all positions, both ILB spots have Sabby potential if starters are out. How do we compensate, strategy wise, if DJ or Belcher are out? Because the talent drop off will be a huge liability. |

Is it really possible to have a modern NFL team and not have a thread like this at some kind of position? Just seems like having depth you are really gonna feel good about isn't possible.

Siler can fill in just fine if Belcher goes down...DJ on the other hand, we're ****ed.

You can say that for most All Pro caliber players in the league. It's near impossible to have quality depth everywhere in the NFL.

I'd guess Siler or Greenwood would step in.
Not great options, but how many teams have All-Pro options at LB BEHIND their starter?

We have stop gaps for Hali. Not even comparable talent wise, but we won't just get raped all of the sudden because the replacement is a liability.
We saw what happened with Berry... still think we need depth there even though we added a draft pick behind him.

They are hoping Siler and Belcher are all the depth they need.
yes its a gamble, but is there anyone out there to add to the roster? |

Right, I understand there is no replacing an All-Pro guy.
My major point is that the sway is so huge if it happens, just like it was with Berry last year. By going from All-Pro talent at a position, to a guy who's not even stop gap worthy, I think hampers us more than if we had a serviceable starter who goes down, to a guy who's not even a stop gap. I say that because the rest of the D has to completely re-adjust strategy wise all the sudden.

Belcher or Siler will step in and be serviceable, before his injury last year Siler was a great run stopper, and many on this forum believed he would usurp belcher. So At the very least behind DJ we have a potential NFL starter caliber guy. Belcher proved he could do it last year, and Siler has done it as well..
