Why so negative and short-sighted?

I'm not negative? Y'all are the ones who have made a big deal about the defense needing secondary help. I will say this. If we are relying on healthy players, then we're asking for the wrong thing. Only one of those hurt players(Kikaha) has impact potential.

What??? I'd hate to live in your pessimistic world, especially since you appear to think you're just being objective. Our DB's injuries were just contact, freak accidents that aren't indicative of their long term health possibilities.

I'd be more worried about Kikaha who if I'm not mistaken had a knee injury in college and now again a non-contact one last season.

The point is injuries happen. And if you don't have depth that's bad. Depth is important. You can talk about fluke injuries, but most players that get hurt don't always have the same injuries. Keenan Allen was said to have had a fluke injury in 15? Guess what, we got hurt again in 2016. Once a player gets hurt they will be afraid to get hurt again that they will try to do things differently. Injuries have a mental effect.

What are you talking about?! He suffered a lacerated kidney in 2015(missed 8 games) and then tore his ACL early last season(IR).

Two completely different types of injuries that would have no bearing on each other... And the mental effect is mostly after you come back from a limb injury and you have trouble trusting it(cutting, extending, etc...) again
