I had different - correct - information.<BR/>They're holding out hope he can come back and play at the end, but it may be false hope.Dale Lolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089003781188560287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-15821306517429469902008-11-19T20:08:00.000-05:002008-11-19T20:08:00.000-05:00There must be SOME chance that MS could play again...There must be SOME chance that MS could play again this year. I think not putting him on IR is a good plan if there's even a remote chance. WE will start facing teams with actual pass rushes (unlike the Chargers) in the Cowboys, Patriots and Ravens and a Marvel Smith's vet savvy would be nice to have.<BR/><BR/>In recent days, the reports on his back are not encouraging however. Thats a big loss for the Steelers chances of going far in the playoffs. Smith was never an elite LT but he was a good one. That's rare enough to find in the NFL. I hope he can contribute further this season as we need all the talent we can use along our mediocre O-line.rocket9https://www.blogger.com/profile/09087000546889258072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-28498463803162720922008-11-19T10:47:00.000-05:002008-11-19T10:47:00.000-05:00I agree Kelly!

I know Spaeth saw alot of action due to SD's lack of blocking TE's but it seems Spaeth is seeing tons more action than Heath ever does. And, Heath is a great player.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-3510814328732641342008-11-19T10:09:00.000-05:002008-11-19T10:09:00.000-05:00Why in the world have they not put Marvel on IR?? ...Why in the world have they not put Marvel on IR??
