No one said pay them as starters. Find better backups. You have a draft also, cheap alternative and there was a ton of tackles in this one. Currently our 2nd round pick is doing nothing. Sam Cosmi went in the second.
Other teams don’t fall apart when they have an injury unless maybe it’s the QB. These aren’t rookies, you don’t forget how to block because you missed done preseason.
This offense is built around having a good offensive line. The run game, passing plays, timing supposedly available. If you lose a guy and it all falls apart how is that a good build? Therefore you need to invest in depth, either with money or draft capital.
