jesus tits, special teams coaches get handed bags of meat to work with...the shittiest, cheapest cuts of meat available
apparently keeping our 'special teams gunner aces specialists' is more important than improving our actual roster depth...

Keeping bubble roster depth who can play special teams exceptionally well is a hell of a lot better than keeping bubble roster depth who are not great at special teams. Hell, there are plenty of special teams aces who are there only for special teams.
And the idea that all good teams treat their special teams players like "cuts of meat" is ridiculous. Plenty of good players and starters play special teams. Not everyone is good at special teams, and few are exceptional at it. Like I said, the move is fine if Cooper and Parker end up being true quality depth guys or nickel/dime guys. But last time we had this conversation, we carelessly traded away Javier Arenas and the backup guys like Agnew and Cox ended up being not only complete disasters, but also did nothing to help out in special teams.
