Well, I think we were a playoff-caliber offense this year, Shanahan said. But we didnt have the depth that you need to go through a season. You cant lose your left tackle, your left guard, your center. You cant lose your starting running back and tight end, especially your tight end thats your best blocker in Chris Cooley. And then you lose Santana Moss for four or five games, and a guy like [Leonard] Hankerson who finally gets ready, he goes down. And its just part of football. Theres no excuses. But what you have to do is you have to build your football team, where you can lose three or four guys on offense, you can lose three or four guys on defense, youre deep enough to still win football games. And that is what great organizations do.
