Hagan, gotta disagree...

Bunkley wasn't the problem on the defensive line...

Sedrick Ellis, Will Smith were the biggest problems on the defensive line...

In fact, I'd argue that if Bunkley can return we'll see a marked improvement over what we already have as the defensive line will have another soldier to help the rotation stay fresher longer through four quarters...

And with Cam Jordan lined up in his familiar collegiate gap assignment, he's flourished...

But you're right that the injuries have forced the hand of very stubborn coaches to play younger players; a higher power is trying to show these coaches that younger players on defense increases the likelihood to win games...

And sharing the workload is smarter because the salary demand, comittment of a rotation player isn't as high...

Also, you're able to weather injuries when you have a multitude of rotational players rather than a couple of uber salary players who, when injured, costs wins...
