2004 was a really really bad year. And it was back before you could return after going on IR. Back then you went on IR you were done , period. We lost Deshaun Foster and Stephen Davis but Nick Goings And Brad Hooooover stepped up. Steve Smith broke his leg the very first game but Kearny Colbert had his best year lof a pro. Kris Jenkins went down, thinking maybe the third or fourth game. All this was after the awesome year we had the year prior and such an optimist outlook when the year started. I think we went 1-7 but finished 6-2.... hard to forget when we were coming off the Super Bowl loss and was going to redeem ourselves. Today's IR is completely different, practice squad was different...really made a difference.
