I'm wondering if McCants isn't really in the dog house but simply didn't have a place on this team last year. I mean he is a 6'4" 220 WR without blazing speed. Where does he get used on special teams? He certainly isn't going to play in front of guys like Thrash outside. Last year Coles, Gardner, Jacobs and Thrash HAD to be active. We only carried 4 game day guys early on becasue of Oline a DLine issues and later when the oline settled down we had more secondary injuries than china has people. Plus Morton got hurt leaving Thrash requried for ST no matter what and eventually they gave Brown a shot so they could get Thrash back into the offense. So even when went to 5 game day WR it was simply because we had no choice. There was never a place for McCants to get in. It cannot be lost on Gibbs and comp that McCants isn't exactly a ST type of player. At least not on a good special teams. Maybe with Gardner gone McCants becomes our possession guy. If we don't draft anyone then he is the only one who fits the bill in the traditional sense.
