Even if Justin comes back, I just can't see him being any better than 70% with this injury (AT BEST). I doubt that Harbaugh wants to bring in the young horses right now, but we may not have a choice. It's pretty clear that our top draft need is NT and DE. What's great is that we have 11 draft picks to work it out with.

We just need to SLOW people down. Willis is channeling 2000 Ray Lewis right now, and just needs to be AROUND the ball for something to happen. I'll be surprised if he isn't in top 5 for Defensive Player of the Year.
