Well, of course. Those guys are first-team all-pros. I'm talking more about offensive roles. KJ Hamler was starting to produce a little. But more important, his speed stretched the field. Jeudy was just starting to produce. Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick are good. Getting all of them on the field creates problems. Shurmer isn't going to ever be accused of being imaginative. But with all those guys, he didn't really have to be. Throw Albert Okwuegbunam out there, and it's another guy that requires defenses to make some hard choices.
You start getting some production out of your offensive line, and lose both of your starting guards. We don't have a Mahomes, obviously - someone who can offset a bunch of scrubs. As well as Bridgewater has played at times, he is what he is. We might just be the best team in the entire league at picking up eight yards on 3rd & 10. Seriously, I defy you to find anyone better.
Our defense is good enough that we don't have to go out and score 35. It's not good enough to allow us to go into the 4th quarter with 130 total yards.
