BeastMode54 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 So far Derek Fine, Derek Schouman, Brad Butler, Kawika Mitchell, Leodis McKelvin, Keith Ellison, Marcus Buggs are all out for the year. Whitner, Bell, McGee, Nelson, Poz, and Scott have all missed significant time. I understand this is a physical game, but this is getting ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Last night the Fish had 3 Centers hurt and had to leave the game and also their nose tackle. I'm sure the IR info is on nfl.com. Look it up. Let us know what you find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd try to peddle him during the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lost track as to who's to blame for this average amount of injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOWEVER only Mitchelle, Elison, Butler, McKelvin, and Schoulman were starters (Ellison and Schoulman weren't lighting it up) and 5 were put on IR before the season started. So yeah we have been hit by injuries but its not as drastic as it may seem on the surface. To me the real issue with this team is that it wasn't deep and a high to medium amount of injuries exposed it. The D-line didn't have many quality backups on it, the linebacking core was starting a backup from the get go in Ellison and didn't have quality backups either. The secondary was the only part of the D that seemed to be at all deep. I think that next season we need to get depth on the front 7 (As well as the offensive line). There were tons of veteran quality D-lineman available in the offseason (Vonnie Holiday, Kevin Carter types) but we were so set on salvaging guys like McCargo and Denny. Next year we need to find quality backups unless we want to keep going at this rate of failure. We wouldn't be dead last in the league against the run if we had Stroud, Kyle Williams, Vonnie Holiday, and Kevin Carter as our DT's and had a guy like Donnie Edwards and signed Chris Draft at the beginning of the season. Parcels did this when he got to Miami and they were a lot more professional and better for it (They won the division last year as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
