    Hamilton, Ayers

    I believe both Ayers and Hamilton are better receivers than what most teams have as starters now. I think Ayers can be a dynamic player and Hamilton can be a very good #3 for a lot of teams. DHB on the other hand is not worth a roster spot because he can cover a punt now and then. Dont get me wrong, I value special teams play just as much as offense and defense, but I dont agree with keeping a "specialist" that brings no other value. We have all seen the Dri Archer experiment and others as well. The only specialists we should keep are LS, K and P. All others better be multi faceted players that can play either offense or defense. Their special teams play should be an added bonus. Cutting a WR over DHB because Bey can cover a punt 4-6 times a game doesnt compare to the 60-70 offensive plays a talented WR can be available to the team. Also Bey's speed is negligible over these others speedy WR's, seriously we are talking tenths of a second over a 40 yard span.

    since it's our last year with a really good wr's coach, we should keep the youth and let him work with them. DHB is not the youth movement. coates and hunter are. it seems we are not putting ayers out there to be seen much and makes it easier for him to clear waivers and be brought back to the PS. i think cobi may be plucked by some team though. :cool:
