Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 187990, member: 19"] The interesting thing about the 90s when we seemed so deep is that we generally stayed injury free. The depth wasn't all that tested. 1993, Conley went down early, the season went down with him, we had no depth at inside linebacker. 1995 we lost Ponds and Abrams late, they missed the Miami game, which we still almost pulled off. But the glaring difference that day was Miami taking advantage of the two that didn't play. From there to the Spotwood injury, it's tough to remember anything significant. We were obviously deeper in the 90's than anything since that decade, because younger talent was replacing older talent every year. But it's hard to pinpoint when exactly we thought we could weather a storm of injuries in any given year. And since we used so many starters on STs, it's easier to notice the talent difference vs. the depth difference. [/QUOTE]
