"depth"

[Cartoon_Cartooon]

IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY WEEK ALL THE RAVENS TALK ABOUT IS HOW MUCH DEPTH WE HAVE. IF THAT WAS THE CASE WHY DOES IT SEEM LIKE THE OPPOSING TEAM GETS A FIRST DOWN EVERY OTHER PLAY. WHY DO WE GET BURNED FOR BIG EXPLOSIVE PLAYS AT LEAST 3 TIMES A GAME. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE DEPTH OF THIS TEAM??

We've been without 9 of 22 starters, and we still have a winning record, and battling for 1st in the division. My thoughts is that, our "depth" is good enough that we can plug defensive players on the line, and in the secondary, and still have the second ranked defense in the league. And on offense, we have plugged in our 3rd string TE, and 3/5 rookie offense lineman in, and we have the 2nd leading rusher in the league. Thats great depth IMO

^ very true, the Ravens can expect most if not all of its injured starters to be Back in the Starting line up when we go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Mondau Night Football. That should jump start both sides of the ball to go the extra Mile and Win the game for us. Some of the injured players have begun to trickle back into the lineup/on the verge to at least, Rolle is back and had the Interception last week, and believe or not Jonathan Ogden was back in the starting line up last week and Played 2 Whole series and didnt seem to have a problem with the injury. he said that the injury isnt feeling Excellent, but Good, better than it has been/ or was feeling like...to the point where its managable and for him to go out there and play and do what he does best of all

Exactly. OUr "depth" is keeping us alive at 4-3.......with that said our "depth" won't win us the division or playoff games, we need to get healthy for that to happen. But, its nice to have good depth and be 4-3.....just ask the Rams, they don't have very good depth, and with their injuries, they are 0-7.....
