Not sure if I agree with you there, B-Rush. DM may also be under a directive from above to break in the youngsters and may be judged on how well he integrates them in preparation for the anticipated cuts. 

Re-thinking this a little- what's more important now, wins or player development? Wins are probably important to most of the fanbase while the 100 experts (and Krayz) here on the board recognize and appreciate the need to develop Bryan, Harrison, et al.
