No reason to panic: Depth on defense might not be the crippling concern some think

The new wrinkles in the offense should allow the Ducks to change up tempo with greater effectiveness.  That takes additional pressure off the linebackers, and the defense as a whole.  With nearly every Duck game on TV, and most of them national, there are more breaks in the action.  Oregon may not need as deep a rotation, although there's every likelihood they can develop one.

This year's defensive group, loaded with agile, agressive speed and two tenacious gap swallowers in the middle, will force more turnovers and three-and-outs.  It's the other team's defense that needs to worry about getting tired.
