This can change from week to week -- going into the Miami game I'm unconcerned with any part of our roster right now outside of maybe the OL because I'd need to see more.

Presuming you don't lose 4+ at any one single position group "bucket" (OL, DB, DL) - which would mean you're dropping outside of your 2 deep for starters - are you saying you're happy with your depth across the board?

Yes.

DB we have four different safeties who could fill in at any DB position if absolutely need be. Wouldn't be ideal but losing 3 CBs (Dean, Wilson, Henderson) would never be fixed by any backup ever in logical circumstances.

DL I'm not worried even a little bit. We would literally have to lose four more guys.

OL as I said, is the only one where I'm a little iffy on that.

Yes, any team can get hit with a rash of injuries at one position and have to start a walk-on at RB or some nonsense... but what is being discussed here is not that...

DT depth is now a concern heading into the Miami game along with OL and DB's.

No, that's not what we're talking about.

Maybe that's what you're talking about, but at the moment I'm putting to rest the absurdity that there are serious glaring problems for the Miami game when there are none.

That can change down the road later provided we have a slew of injuries/suspensions or other nonsense.

Not really... my question isn't "do we have enough bodies to play Miami?" It's "do we feel like we have enough depth on the roster that can contribute and make it through the season without huge dropoffs in the event of normal injury volume. There are plenty of years where a team will just get crushed by injuries (2013 or 2014 UGA was rough for example)... We thought we had ok depth, but the numbers were just outside the realm of "normal".

If you have 2-3 DBs get injured prior to the game in Jax, it sounds like you feel like you have sufficient depth to overcome that... at least in the event that no more injuries occur during the game (and presuming it isn't exclusively at the CB position). That's all I'm really asking.

Fair enough... I don't actually read the OP anymore...
