Jags have 3 on injured reserve.  My impression on Gene Smith was that he seemed to put a lot more guys on IR. Anyone recall where IR stood at this point the last couple years?

---

Gene loved IRing everyone. We had the most in the league I believe.

---

Gene used IR as a way to stash players for next year. Caldwell doesn't use IR the same way.

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."

You are right about Gene Smith putting too many guys on IR. Rashad Jennings was cleared to play and stuck on that list. That was a case where Gene would have applied the DTR (designated to return) tag if it existed at the time, however, because he expressed frustration about not having a short-term IR list.

 

I don't track how many guys we have on IR, but I do know it was more than three after only four weeks.

2 yrs in a row.  A few years ago we had like 35 players on IR I think lol

Rackley also

When was he supposed to come back if not put on IR?

---

Gene used it too heavily, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Caldwell use it a bit more than he has as the season goes on in order to bring in a few waiver claims for evaluation. 

---

I always hated the way Gene did that, we could've used Rashard that one year I remember him being cleared to play and then he was on the IR. Same with D'Anthony hard to evaluate a guy when he's on the IR every year.
