Wednesday Injury Status

PrintWith such a quick turnaround after the Monday night game I almost forgot that it was already Wednesday and we would get our first look at the health of the team, so there is good news mixed in with some bad:
Training
On the Bikes
For me Shaun Ellis has been pretty invisible so far this season, he really needs to do something and something soon. I think the further we get into the season, the clearer it becomes that on the first day of the draft, we need to go to the defensive line with our first and possibly second round selections.
Looks like Lito will be a definite 'go' on Sunday barring any setbacks, with Strickland out there as well I think it's safe to say that he will be back. I'm not too worried about Woody or Smith, Cotchery is a concern though.

the reason we havent played the run very well so far is because of ellis and the rest of the D-line’s (besides jenkins) complete ineffectiveness. the dolphins have a good O-line but the way they were man handling us in the trenches was absurd. its not too late to look to free agency to add a DE. kevin carter, vonnie holliday or dewayne robertson are all available and could be good options. its worth it to at least work them out.
Injuries
Lito and Donald back will be a plus.
We need help at the DE positions. Ellis used to be a stud but looks very average. Douglas has never been a stud, not sure if we got any trades left in the vault, but gotta do something if our D is gonna be as good as they think they are.
Curtis "my favorite" Martin - 1 of the best!
I don't think
we have the means to make any trade that would substantially improve, we apparently won’t trade our first or second picks, so I think it may be a case of just toughing it to the end of the season. There are a couple of nice prospects at the DE position coming out of college this year. Ellis is most definitely a big disappointment this year so far. He will need to drastically improve. Douglas is pretty much doing what most expected. Steady but nothing spectacular. I think it may have been Scott after the game who said we were just not getting off blocks, and we haven’t really done all year. I know sacks are a overrated statistic when it comes to judging a defence, but we are dead last with four on the season. From a top 5 defence (wanabe top 5) that’s really is not going to cut it. It’s not like the Miami game was like the NE game where we were constantly disrupting the QB, we got little to no pressure on Henne on Monday. Part of that was good O-line play by the Dolphins, but a lot of it was down to terrible defensive line play from the Jets.
