Default Secret weapon, Faulk?

If there's any secret weapon, who else could emerge? Sure, he might be done soon, but if he was done now, would he hang on and would BB eat up a roster spot?

Two weeks practice, I imagine plays could be inserted for one of those classic 4-5 play chain moving bursts in the middle of a game when the team bogs down.

I Like Woodhead, but he still seems to be a nice story that has settled into jagness.

Kevin Faulk could possibly be the best receiver out of the backfield ever, so what the hell?

...also, as good as anyone on the draw play and great blitz pickup.

It'd be nice to see him have a vital role in the gameplan and then ride off into the sunset with a another championship under his belt.

But I actually think the unsung hero of this game will be on defense, maybe Chung takes that next step.

I'll make you a bet he gets less than 8 snaps. Which is 8 snaps more than he got after the last 2 week game plan BOB dreamed up.

Sorry to poo poo your idea but I think Danny Woodhead is actually better than "jagness".....and if they need receivers out of the backfield, they have been known to use Welker and Hernandez before they use the sr citizen.

Faulk's done. I hate to say it, I was always one of his biggest supporters and stuck up for him during his fumbilitis era...but he's done.

Would love to see him snag another ring though! He';s been good in a leadership capacity by all accounts.

Let's be honest here. Faulk is old, slow, and from from an impact player at this stage. He is on active roster for three reasons 1) out of respect to him; 2) his leadership; and 3) as a reliable fall back on punt returns/special teams. He is by no means a secret weapon and a mediocre linebacker can cover him in space.

I highly doubt either side is going to move away from what has been successful in getting them to the Superbowl.

Chung is hardly unsung (rhyme) especially in that secondary. I'm talkimng about surprise snaps, Chung will likely have about 100%.

BB doesn't respect anyone enough to waste a roster spot.
