Injuries happen, injuries to...agree on both counts. Injuries happen, injuries to key players happen ... and when you think about it, the more you involve your key players on offense (or scheme for them on defense), the more opportunities exist for injury. <br /><br />And at every level, the less depth you have, the more an injury affects you, whether or not it's to one of your best players. Every long-term injury moves people up the depth chart, and if you don't have enough depth, the change in talent is noticeable, whether the dropoff is from All-Big Ten to second string or from second string to walk-on. (At the NFL level, the Lions were a good example of this last season and may also be one this season.)<br /><br />Yeah, it could be a lot worse. Getting busted for doing stuff that's obviously wrong ... with a few weeks off (bad timing on the broken leg, I was sorry to see that), perhaps Mr. Bush will rethink his position about what he did at USC. They don't threaten to take away Heismans for just anything, you know.zlionsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966540737106797756noreply@blogger.com
