Q: Why don't the coaches give Limas Sweed another try? What I have seen lately is that Hines Ward seems slowed and this has let him be covered by one person leaving opposing defenses more able to double team Santonio Holmes and Mike Wallace. I think Ward should be more of a third-down option.

BOUCHETTE: If Hines Ward is slowing down, give me three more of him at that position. Ward caught 10 passes for 128 yards and one touchdown in Kansas City with no drops. He leads the team with 63 catches, 798 yards and five touchdowns. That's a pace of 101 catches for 1,277 yards. Sweed has dressed the past three games and they will use him when the time comes, but I would not want to see him out there ahead of any of the top three at the moment, or even be used in the spread ahead of Heath Miller, and Bruce Arians said as much last week.
