I fail to see how we adequately replace Jenkins or even Jolly on the other end if either go down this season. DL depth is certainly one of my biggest concerns with this squad.

I think you're being a little to gunshy from last season. The fact of the matter is that you dont simply replace a player of Jenkin's quality. With this same method of thinking, near every position on the team should be your biggest concern.
Think about it, what if charles woodson goes down for the season? Sure Williams will step in but that creates a huge hole for the nickle, seeings as the pack plays a LOT of nickle and sub-packages with 3 CBs, this would be a huge loss. Same can be said for harris.
What if rodgers goes down?
What if clifton goes down?
What if grant goes down?
What if collins goes down?
We can play this game all day. Inside linebacker and center and maybe WR(we have good depth here, but nobody is going to come in and replace jennings) are about the only positions on the field where they can sustain a major injury to a starter without a real dropoff.
At the end of the day its about how well the team can play together no matter who is in there, and that will tell the real tale because there will be injuries along the way.
