There are merits to this idea of making up the cover with a smaller number of players who can cover multiple positions (namely in terms of keeping everyone happier with the amount of games they're getting, and hopefully keeping them a little fitter, sharper and more motivated through the regular game time), but if that is the plan then I still feel we're short at least one more multi-functional player on the defensive side of things - my preference would be for either a DM who can cover CB when needed, or, if we're planning on making Chambers a DM, then a CB who can possibly cover another area (LB would be nice).

The obvious downside of course is that we'll always be one or two players closer to a critical injury list than we would be with higher numbers - a lot will depend on Shad, if that's the path we end up going down...
