Hot Take: Losing Yanda is No Big Deal...

[Filmstudy]

I don't think there's reason for optimism per say, but I don't think losing Yanda means that we all of the sudden are only going to win 6 games. I think his loss just makes it far more difficult to beat the better teams, which is what we'll need to do if we want to be taken seriously.

Losing him hurts, but his loss is not close to the most "record shifting" loss this team could suffer in my opinion. I'd rank them:

1. Flacco (duh)
2. Stanley (James Hurst at LT... enough said)
3. Jimmy (he'd be two in prior seasons... the secondary is horse shit without him, though with addition of Carr/Humphrey, he may not be as "valuable" as prior seasons)
4. Mosley (wouldn't be as big of a deal in prior years, but ILB isn't good on this team beyond him)
5. Weddle (could be higher, don't know what it's like to play without him)

Other than an exchange of 3 and 4 (Mosley would be a more serious loss than Smith), I agree with those 5.

Would you have said this last season, or do you move Mosley ahead because of our increased depth/quality at Corner this season?

Well, now he is.

I'd actually maybe consider moving Weddle up above Jimmy and possibly about CJ at this point. With Webb being forced to play nickel corner, we have virtually no depth at Safety. If we had somebody like Canady or Young to play nickel, its a different story.

If hill gets healthy, I'd rate Weddle lower since I think Webb could do adequately for a couple games. Depending on who we're playing at that point anyways.

Yanda? No big deal. He has limited impact on the games

This one must be due to losing Maxx Williams. Yeah, that's it

Get used to this.
This offense was barely on life support with Yanda in there.
Without him, time to read this offense its last rites.
