I'm sure Ryan has a plan, and I hope it's more than just a special teams guy and backup FS.

I think Rob is going to find a way to get him on the field. You don't pay "3rd stringers" that kinda money to play special teams, do you? Some of you guys who pay attention to that sort of thing feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems we were keen not to let him get away, and I doubt that was because we felt like he's got a ton of value and his future is bright.

Actually I hope we will see him some on special teams. He has decent speed and is a good tackler so he could definitly have a big impact there.

Why? That's exactly why we kept him. He does have a ton of value and definitely a bright future. He is an ascending player and will only get better and he's already shown a lot.
