They've got to make it look like they've earned it, which is fine.  Already being labeled "co-starters" pretty much indicates that by the end of training camp, barring injury, they'll be dropping the "co" from their roles.

I don't know how that kind of thing looks to the players, but as a fan it looks ridiculously like Marrone doesn't have the strength of conviction to just come out and give a direct appraisal of the players so far. It's not like the depth charts can't change, and anyone worth having on the team won't stop working just because the depth chart has them as a starter.
