Can't blame any player for wanting to be on the field as much as possible and wouldn't want someone who was satisfied to ride the bench, but in a numbers game I have to agree his grip on a roster spot is tenuous. He's steady but has little explosiveness. With what looks like much improvement in our receiver corps this season the competition has never been greater. Probably come down to whether they think Givens speed is a more valuable asset than Pettis' versatility and reliability. When you look at what's left of the Spagvaney 2011 season-ending roster the list keeps getting shorter and shorter:
Bradford, C Long, Laurinaitis, Quinn, Sims, Kendricks, Saffold, Pettis, McQuaide and maybe Reynolds? Did I miss anyone?
