Here's the thing about special teams - not "everyone" can do it. So, it's not as easy to just swap Player A for Player B. Now, it is easier to do that on teams - and more likely - but there has to be some semblance of a skill set and lane and coverage discipline. The problem is, is if you make the wrong "swaps" you've got opposing teams starting with excellent field position (see Bears, Chicago, once they let the back end of the roster slip post-Hester).
That's fair.
But in the case of Peerman, isn't it just as likely players who aren't RBs but play the same on ST could be what costs him a spot here if he can't offer more than ST play?
Weren't Shaw and Derron touted as ST demons?
