[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 832581, member: 12283"] I keep throwing out Crawford because he was kept specifically to be a kick/punt cover guy. He really emerged as a key ST player late in preseason, and it won him a roster spot. That's why he spent 333 snaps on ST last year, and 1 on defense. And that's fine! You need those guys. So my point is this-- if it's fine to keep Crawford as an exclusive ST player who is on the roster and active on Sundays purely to cover kicks and punts, why not Davis who is a good returner while also helping to cover kicks and punts? He doesn't only contribute on returns. In other words, I'm wondering why there is a double standard when it comes to Davis. No one seems to care if they keep a LB exclusive to play ST, but bring up Davis (because he offers a skillset that virtually doesn't exist elsewhere on the roster) and it's super distasteful to fans. The odds that the 6th WR on the roster will contribute anything on offense comparable to the value that Davis will offer on ST are slim to none. And I don't even think the book should be shut on him being a capable WR5/6 on offense. He's talented. He was only a 5th round pick. He is essentially a 3rd year player after missing 2018. Literally the only reasons why some people are calling to keep a guy like Lazard over him is because Davis was a TT pick and Lazard's name is fresher. And finally-- what is the alternative? I keep asking this question and the answers I get are: 1) Use Tramon Williams, our 36 year old corner who isn't effective at it any more. 2) Use our critically important CB1 or FS1 which would seriously **** me off. 3) Use some player who has literally never returned punts and we are just assuming they might be able to. Keeping Davis is more about the alternatives for me than the player himself. [/QUOTE]
