Are We exposed?

I think the only thing that got exposed today was that we're not a very deep team right now. With all of the injuries, we're not playing the best ball that we can play. Obviously the injuries in the secondary hurt, we were playing without the first three cornerbacks on our week 1 depth chart.

With Fujita out again, and Marvin Mitchell not with the team, we had to put Troy Evans in there when Dunbar got hurt. Evans, as good as he is on special teams, is a huge liability on defense.

The point is, when we're completely healthy, I don't know if anybody can beat us. But if we're missing a third of our starting defense, I'm not sure how good we'll be against a really good team.

I'm not really worried because Greer, Porter, and Gay should all be back by at least playoff time, and when they come back, I think we'll be fine. But right now, yeah, I think we're a little exposed as not being very deep.
