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.
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.

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.
Fair enough... I don't actually read the OP anymore...
I asked the depth question in another thread before. Just trying to get some specifics as we enter the season on how Gators feel about team depth.

I mean, it depends on the DBs.
Any team that loses LCB and RCB 1 plus a starting safety is going to have trouble replicating the production.
Obviously we're not planning on losing three starting DBs this year, but in the case that it does happen I think we're in a much better position than last year.
McWilliams was terrible and the backups were freshmen. This year we can at least shift Dean to LCB/RCB and have another non-Freshman take over STAR if need be.
Last year it was literally a one-deep.
