Also keep in mind half the guys on our list weren't predicted to make the final roster. What's especially hurt us so far this year is all of the injuries in the secondary.
Patriots won the Super Bowl last year with almost their whole draft class on IR and we know Philly won in 2017 with its backup quarterback.
Meanwhile, we have some guys stub their toes and all of a sudden that depth we are supposed to have evaporates pretty quickly when guys have to actually get out on the field and perform.
DRC retired last year during the season and walked away. Coming back at age 33/34, it's not a stretch to think he might not hold up for 16 games.
Dunbar was hurt last year as well.
Only Norman seems to remain healthy but he can't cover anyone
I think you're right on two fronts. We should be much more wary of bringing in previously injured bargains. And when guys can't stay on the field we need to be much more aggressive in moving on from them.
