injuries

Marvel smith (LT) has been about for about half the season now. Our O-line sucks with or without him, but the dropoff in his backup is not that significant with the way Smith has been hurt.
Keisel (DE) being out is a bummer, but his backups (the steelers rotate at least two in there) have played lights out when he was gone for a few weeks earlier this year. Our DE’s are only asked to stop the run anyhow, so…
Not so happy about Parker (RB) being out, but we can run without him. He needs to get healthy.

The only real significant ones I think are the CBs. They’ve been out for a few weeks (notice we’re still #1 in pass defense?) but will be needed against the Pats. Word on the street is McFadden will most likely be back. He’s been in full practices for over a week now, but they’ve been cautious – they won’t be this weekend. He’s a damn fine CB. The nickelback townsend would be awfully nice to have this weekend, but it seems unlikely he’ll play as of right now. Still, our depth isn’t bad, but having 4 good CBs and your castoff fernando bryant would be infinitely helpful this weekend.

There’s a reason you guys cut him.

He’s been forced into the #3 role which is not where he should be. I’ve heard his name called far too often, and I imagine the pats will exploit him quite a bit since he’ll be in the #4 role. That said, most people don’t exactly have stellar lower-tier CBs, so it’s hard to complain with his adequate performance.
