Did anyone on this board think James Harrison would be a DPOY when he was riding the pine and being passed from team to team just 4 years ago? An undrafted free agent finally gets his chance and not only replaces a top tier LB'er in Porter, but takes the position to the next level.
Ben Roethlisberger steps into his second game as an NFL player due to Tommy Maddox's injury. He rattles off 14 straight wins after that and now has 2 rings. Nobody thought he was good enough to even start that early, and then he steps in and takes the job to the next level.
Hoke has filled in admirably whenever Hampton goes down. We would have never known how good a player he was until he got a chance due to injury.
Keyaron Fox got a start last year due to an injury and produced 2 turnovers that probably won the game for us.
Time and time again someone gets a chance due to an injury. This will be no different. The rest of the guys on the roster get paid to do a job and they didn't get here because of a lack of competitiveness. There is a starting spot open for the taking and someone is going to step up and earn it. We may even laugh in a year or 2 when whoever steps up becomes a future probowler and we never would have known unless this injury took place.
