I can't believe I am entertaining this but here I go...
Thompson and Lamur were injured in the last game of the season, and was just placed on IR.
Roach and Williams aren't necessarily being brought into replace them. For all I know and you know, Hardison will be Thompson's replacement as well as Dawson is Lamur's.
However what happens if God forbid, someone else goes down during practice? Wouldn't it be nice to have someone on the 53 that we could call on? What happens if someone goes down during the game? Again nice to have that extra person available if needed.
There is no evidence to support your conclusion that Williams and Roach will be starting over Hardison and Dawson. We would do the same thing if any other position suffered a loss. We would promote from the PS squad if the position is available and if not, then we would find a guy on the street that fit the position of need.
