I think that the coaches are worried about the movement in the league toward
smaller, quicker WRs.  Their CBs were drafted to cover the bigger guys like
Moss and the guys in Detroit.  They want CBs like Hester and Manning to be
there to cover these guys.  I think that slot receivers are seen, rightly or
wrongly, as being a dime a dozen.

On the other hand, there is the thought that instead of using Hester to
cover smaller, quicker WRs, you could make him in to one...

not it seems to me that he missed the opportunity of his life.
