I understand why one would think to roster the guy for short yardage situations. But, we can only dress so many. Would you bench Malcomb Brown for Perkins? He would be our bench short yardage guy. Perkins has no NFL regular game experience. Not a snap. Would you rather see our third string QB running the football instead of Akers or Hendu? You would rather run Perkins into the line over Stafford throwing it to CK? Or Higbee? If we want to be creative, why not let Hoecht run it up the gut on 3rd and one? He's as fast as Perkins and 100 pounds bigger.
