two major injuries played to our advantage:
1. tvd goes down and emory comes in ... it causes dawson to get conservative which worked in advantage as we didn't put the ball in harms way ... the pressure to go conservative with tvd would have been too much and to be honest the crowd wouldn't have went for it ... as a result we won the turnover battle, which had plagued us for two weeks
2. injuries in the backfield call for smith to come in ... that gave us game changing speed at rb, chaney or parrish don't score that touchdown ... i think it'll also cause us to give some burn to chris johnson who also has game changing speed
you never want injuries, but this game it did play to our advantage ... also speaks to the improving depth
