[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1085200, member: 17987"] The crux of it (and again I'm spinning off on a bit of a tangent) is that IMO philosophically we don't value ST that highly. At least not in a sense that we are likely to carry many players with a "ST-focus". We are far more likely to keep an extra WR around and say "he can probably play PR and/or KR" rather than keep a dedicated PR and/or KR guy on the roster who can't really contribute in the passing game, for example. A lot of teams are carrying guys who are pretty much ST only; we are on the opposite end where we basically want to fill out our whole ST units with just leftovers from other position groups and hope for the best. And historically we have been rather shy to afford these snaps to starting-type players too. I can't remember if it was this year or last year but I have it in my memory how early in the season we'd trotted out a few field goal units that had a lot of rotational/backup players involved because we didn't want to risk our starters in those situations. Then we had a few kicks getting blown up and finally decided to start sending out some more starters on the OL. Ultimately it just felt very much like we didn't want to risk our "offense guys" for the sake of helping our ST units. It's stuff like that which might actually speak to Bisaccia's favor. I often wonder exactly how many players are being "released" or "approved" to get meaningful ST reps vs how many are being held out of those situations out of caution. [/QUOTE]
