Jarrett Bush is the poster boy of that. He's exceptionally valuable as a Special Teams gunner, but he is also a defensive back. Without him on the field, we don't win that Super Bowl. He was great on Special Teams and ended up seeing a lot of work on defense with Shields and Woodson going down, including a crucial INT.
Special Teamers are the perfect backups, because they are used to real game action, and are ready to go. Grab your helmet and go do your secondary responsibility the best you can. With luck some of them mature into good starters at a primary offensive or defensive position with time, like Donald Driver did.

Credit where credit's due. Most posters around here can admit when they're wrong about something. Most, not all.
He was also instrumental in some of our other wins this season (Jets and the NFCCG against the Bears come to mind). We didn't have a lot of regular season wins to give, and losing the NFC Championship Game to the Bears would have been the worst thing ever.

Ahhh, just thinking about Bears fans that have to endure the worst loss ever in the rivalry makes me smile.
