Well, given Lloyd v Patten, you have two backups who don't play special teams. By virtue of age, I guess I'd keep Lloyd of the two, but it's really hurting us to be tying up two roster spots with crappy WRs who don't run down on teams and hit anyone.
You only keep 46 players active which means theres only 19 non specialist (K, P, QB, LS) backups active every week. If those 19, there needs to be 11 on kickoff cover teams, 10 on punt, punt return, and kick return teams, and 9 on FG/PAT. Last year we had starting safeties running down covering kicks (It ended Prioleau's season) because we can't get a damn receiver who doesn't play much offense to do it. That's a problem.
We need to fix this problem. I think Patten will be gone, and I'm not so sure about Lloyd, but if we have the cap space, I'd advocate his departure also.
