(I.e. the Jon McGraws and Terrence Coppers of the team, realistically these guys should never sniff 1st or 2nd string, but because they adopt "I'll do whatever the coaches ask of me" it makes up for their lack of actual talent so they are given significant playing time. These guys wouldn't play anywhere else in the league like they do here.)
I'm not saying the same applies to Castille, but I'm saying it also hurts us as much as it barely benefits us.

These players are demonstrating good team character imo. Yeah they're not the greatest or flashiest type of players by any means. They're good role players who provide great work ethics, and good overall morale/attitude to the team. you need players like this on your team. It like good medicine for your locker room. I think it players like these that are an integral ingredient for building a championship winner. Basically, they are part of a process in building a winner.
*Besides, McGraw and Copper probably won't be starting by years end. They will however, contribute on special teams. As we know, both guys are excellent special teamers. Good special teamers I'll take that on my team anyday of the week. Chiefs are keeping them around for a reason.
