Of course they are thin...look at the guys sitting in rehab. Personally the only place I think they are thin is interior defensive line....I've heard no complaints about the DB's except a couple guys missing practice time being dinged up. The LBer issues seem to be the lack of familiarity in the position in this defense they are going to be playing and the defensive scheme itself and with the injuries moving guys around could be confusing to them...with all that said I read where Riley thought the defense had outperformed the offense the last week....and that Hanson was having his guys running laps for the way they were getting their asses handed to them....that indicates to me the defense can't be that bad..
It's the 12th practice and they're tackling for the 1st time? What the fuck? Even fatboy wasn't this soft.
