Well Nicks should really be on IR as well.
Excuses
What ever shall we do now?
To me it's a little odd that most people on here do their projections for the next year teams and they plug in all of the names with certainty, never taking into account the obvious 10 to 15 players, who are usually starters and some stars that ALWAYS go on the IR. Not only does this team need to plug holes on both sides of the ball but we need DEPTH. You figure 53 on the active roster plus 8 on the practice squad plus 15 on the IR, that's 76 players needed a year.

Nah, you don't need depth and in many cases can't afford depth. You just need to not get injured in really important positions.

Did sheppard make a single play this year?
On special teams, yes - he forced a fumble and caught that awesome onside kick (the one Lindell hit high). He only recently started playing offense during games, but I believe he had the key block on Rainey's 80-yard TD.
Well i can see why he is on IR he Fumbled the ball on the Reverse from Page in the 49er game, You mess with Schiano you get put on IR
What did he do? Stub his toe walking into the bench?
Of the 15, only 2 were quality starters. I see no excuses for 4-10...

Does this not count as a play?
