f 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.

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.

I sure as shite don't want to find out, but I do think we've got sufficient depth at DB to not have significant drop-off from 1st to 2nd string at any one position... Between the actual 2 deep at CB and S and the guys on the 3 deep at STAR, DB is a kind of overpopulated and over-talented room in Athens right now it seems.

QB definitely the thinnest position... I don't want to find out whether the camp hype is accurate on Bennett or not.
