    I was just looking at our roster this AM just to get a feel for where we were at injury wise. Looking at our IR, we have a ton of talent and guys who could contribute on the IR.

    Baron Batch
    Curtis Brown
    Chris Carter
    Willie Colon
    Jon Dwyer
    Chris Hoke
    Byron Leftwich
    Rashard Mendenhall
    Daniel Sepulveda
    Aaron Smith


    The guys in bold, I don't think will be back.

    This team is 12-4. Ben is banged up. Pouncey is banged up. Harrison and Woodley have missed games due to injury. Troy and Ward have been limping. Our Oline has had guys in and out all year starting 8 different lineups and guys at multiple positions.

    This has been an amazing job by this staff. Has it been perfect? No. We have less needs next year in the draft than it currently looks like on paper because we have guys who are NOT playing who could be.

    Batch is going to be great next year. I think it was wood who was saying the kids work ethic is insane.

    Absolutely agree. His injury was the biggest disappointment of training camp. I hope the injury hasn't slowed him down some.

    That is why I am ALL FOR trading up in the draft -- bundle some draft picks together and go after 2-3 good players. We have enough of depth at most position and only need bolstered in a few spots.
