We may not be spectacular but we're solid and have proven depth so that we shouldn't lose a beat if a player goes down. Teo and Robertson were life savers last year when we brought them in after injuries forced them on the field.

Literally never understand why Robertson is listed as 2nd string when he's our most complete and consistent player at LB.

+1. Very consistent and productive. I was glad he got that million dollar bonus (percentage of snaps) last season. At worst, Craig has been great depth.

I'm just glad the days of Stephone Anthony & James Laurinitus (he was really bad) are behind us at MLB.

Nolan has a really good group to work with.

I'd like to have a candid, off-the-record conversation with Nolan about Stephone Anthony and find out what went wrong without Payton's historical revisionism...

Should Anzalone miss extended time, decide to apply either the Lewis/Breaux standard of availabilty or the Armstead/Ellerbe standard of availability...

The thing is both Armstead and Ellerbe were animals on the field. When they played they made an immediate impact.

And when the matchups were favorable; Will Smith's numbers came in bunches against lesser talent and stalled against elite opponents, but at least he suited up each and every week...

I like Robertson but towards the end of last season he looked like he was running on stilts.

Seems like injuries always put a dent in us here.

How do you feel about our depth?
