Flowers would be active and making an impact on special teams and wouldnt be a liability if he had to take snaps on D.

Put it this way. Bill bellicheat wanted Flowers. Marv coached someones dad so his son now takes up one of our precious roster spots.

I remember the year we were on Hard Knocks and one of the main storylines was whether or not Jason Dimanche would make the roster. We followed him all off season and I remember being so happy for him and excited to have him on the team.

He played a total of 47 snaps on defense all year.

The 6th LB is all about special teams. Even during Burfict's suspension, Nickerson will likely never line up on defense.

I don't think we need to worry about the difference in special teams between Flowers and Nickerson. We basically got our 7th round pick back that we spent on Chris Smith for 3 games worth of Flowers over Nickerson.

Not really something worth complaining or worrying about, I wouldn't think.
