Cushing Injured in Jets Game on MNF

[popanot]

What do we do to replace Cush....??? I guess the options are:

1) Use what we have and hope Sharpton comes back, can stay healthy, and performs - Highly unlikely and unreliable, IMO.

2) Hope like hell Dobbins, etc can perform at a high level - Highly unlikely, IMO

3) Trade for a player - If there's ever a season to go all-in and make a trade this would be the one, IMO. I'd love to see them make a deal for a good ILB, and worse case, he'd be an upgrade to James for next year when Cushing hopefully returns. However, we all know Smith and Kubiak are fairly conservative and will likely play it safe and go sign a veteran FA ILB like Stephen Cooper or Barret Rudd for depth with the hope they find youth in a bottle.

4) Pilfer a Practice Squad - This is obviously a gamble since, well, you're getting an unproven player that's sitting on a PS. There must be a reason for that, right? If they decide to go this route, Josh Bynes w/BALT looks intriguing. He's on a 3-4 defensive team with major LB talent in front of him so maybe there's some real talent there and he'd be somewhat of a lower risk pickup than a PS ILB from another team.

Any other trade possibilities or PS players you can think of?? Man, this sucks!
