The Pats depth is what made them able to overcome a rash of injuries during the season. If we lost 7 starters, we'd be screwed.

It seems to me that Belicheck (sp?) is the real reason for the pats success. He has a system and he can motivate a defense to stick to it. In the era of free agency, coaches are more valuable than ever. Given Gibbs track record with the 3QBs, etc., I figure we'll be pretty well off. Sometimes depth happens when everyone is totally committed to a cause.
