None of this sounds too worrying. The Thibodeaux thing is a pretty big blow, but other than that I feel like we're more or less very healthy. The stuff listed here sounds pretty inconsequential.

Why is losing KT to injury a big blow to the defense?

Because he showed last year he is capable of being a pretty good player, and I wouldn't say we're deep at the position he plays. Just because he's not an all pro doesn't mean it doesn't matter.

They're leading the league in sacks and in the top 5 of pass rush win rates and not all of that is Dexter Lawrence.  Burns/Thibs have been good all year.  The sacks would have come but the injury puts a wrench in that for the time being.

Lawrence and Burns have excellent PFF scores. KT is 57. KT averages about 1 tackle a game. We all want him to be a good player but he's not and he's barely even an average player. Sorry but he is easily replacable.

I would move Baby Bull outside for a few.

Speed AND power on the outside?!? Does he have a solid spin move? That would be awesome.  :ok:

He's certainly athletic.

Thibs most definitely has not been good all year. In fact, he's been more invisible than good.
