That's a bit extreme. More like it hampered them. If you want to look at a team that got destroyed by the lockout, look at the Dream Team. That team, most notably the D, never got the chance to practice together and gel in the preseason. By the time they got it together, it was late in the season and too late for them to make the playoffs. In that case, we should all be very thankful for the lockout. Another thing to consider is all teams were in the same boat as us in terms of the lockout. Equal playing field. I think losing Jenkins hurt this team more than people would like to admit. He left a hole that had to be filled and with no off season and practice team, I think it took guys a long time to get used to playing without a player who was always such a huge part of the defense's unique chemistry. So yes, the lockout hurt us there as well by not giving the defense the time to work with new players and gel as a unit. If one thing the lockout has shown us is the importance of off season training camp and what happens to a team when they don't have it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
