I think that using the 12 personnel situationally or to show a different look can help in the playoffs. Especially if it's against a team who has seen us already like the Dolphins, Bengals, Jags, Chiefs, etc.
He looked good at Florida, but it's like he forgot everything he once knew. Maybe he was never really that good and it's a big swing and miss by Beane.
Just like he did at Tyrod at the end of the half. Tyrod deserved it, but it's a bad look for a coach to be red faced, screaming and whining.
Didn't McD put him in the booth at one point to avoid that too?
I agree with this, like the Diggs trade. Surtain could take over for White and not miss a beat this season, and earn a big contract later.
Unfortunately, I don't think White will be in the longterm plans anymore.
In case of flu, food poisoning, last minute injuries. It's a 'just in case' type of thing for positions that could possibly need some help in the event that someone goes down last minute.
