I am most concerned about our secondary, which will be facing an enormous challenge against vick/jackson/maclin. Who starts at corner in place of Hall if Buchanon also can't go? Barnes? Yikes. And Westbrook playing nickel?
Honestly, the only two that majorly concern me are Hall and Buchanon.
Cooley hasn't been himself all year. I would like to see him take a couple weeks (if not an entire month) off to heal up. When he has played this year, it looks like he has been going half speed. When healthy, he is one of our best offensive players, butin all honestly I think he has been a detriment when on the field this year.
Hightower is a good RB to have, but we have Torain and Helu that are servicable in his absence. I would most likely keep him active, but not play him unless Torain or Helu go down during the game.
Armstrong has only caught 4 passes this year and has dropped a couple -- but he is still a decent WR. The major reason I am not concerned sitting him is because I don't believe he is significantly better than any other WRs on the roster and because as a deep threat any injury will severly deminish his ability to contribute in the game (i.e., if you suffer an injury that impacts AA's speed, he is no longer the deep threat, thus taking away most of the reason AA is on the team).
People can say what they want about DH, but we need him to remain healthy this year. I tend to think we are very thin at the CB position and this week we face one of the best WRs in the game.
