Here's where I think alot of fans, including our own brotherhood/sisterhood here, don't get...

Take the example of Travaris Cadet; he's not a top running back, but he's a multi-purpose player, wearing hats on kick coverage, kick return, pass protection, screen plays; and while he may not be the fastest or quickest, he's on-time to meetings, rarely misses an assignment during games and isn't out getting DUIs...

That is a rare commodity folks and his value is in opening depth at other positions because of his multi-faceted role; many beat up Scott Shanle because he'd take the heat for coverage failures when it was often the Safety not picking up on the exchange - but I'd bet many of his critics privately would take him back in an instant the past two, three seasons compared to what we had more recently...

Spiller couldn't win the KR/PR role from Murphy and he was third behind Ingram and Hightower; now I thought Spiller offered more than Hightower so that tells me there was some other on-field issue (i.e. pass protection? route reads?) that kept him behind Ingram and Hightower...

So where do you keep a guy like that when you only have two spots at nearly every other scrimmage position with WR, DB, RB only offering multiples?

Again, we should have been addressing Guard, Defensive End, Defensive Tackle these past three seasons and we're still left wanting...
ChrisXVI and K Major like this.

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
