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.

Every man on the O line (except Gowlinski) is getting paid top dollar. They just sign a new Qb to a big contract with the best Lb getting top shelf pay.
There is a finite amount of $$ for the entire team, and there is not a lot of room for last minute maneuvers. Its addition, not that hard.

From this link, they have very little space. So they need to buckle up and play hard for the next 14 games
