So what were your thoughts on the rookies and second year players this week? This is the first time we got a good look at some of them.
I thought both DT's played pretty well for their first action, and they were going up against some decent OL's. They all had stats, tackles, sacks, hurries, which sometimes DT's don't see. Looked like they actually shifted some double team's to Sutton a few plays. Along with Fuller, we may have managed to hit on our first three picks this year. Not guaranteeing pro-bowls, for the DT's yet or anything stupid like that, but looks like they can play football.
With the second year, I thought Bostic was starting to look pretty good in a full time role yesterday. Yes, he missed the hell out of a pretty easy pick to end the game, but I thought he was tackling pretty well, was in the backfield making plays a few times. Not sure if I was missing something, but looking like he could be developing into a starter. I remember Roach didn't look that great in his first year or two, but ended up turning into a valuable starter, hoping Bostic can be the same.
Can't say much about Vereen I don't think we've seen enough of to say much yet.
Thoughts?
