Quote:I'm not expecting a whole lot this year from the rookies.  Historically, they tend to hit a wall at some point during their first season.  Hopefully it's late in the year, or it doesn't happen at all.  But, it does happen for the majority of rookies entering the league. 

 

Well said - though I do expect at least one promise of potential game from Lee and Robinson this season.  To the tune of over 100 yards and a touchdown or back to back 100 yard games or with a touchdown.  I normally see above average rookies do this then struggle to continue their success as the secondary pays more attention.

 

I'm not saying that defenses will look the other way when it comes to lining up against our rookies but the film sessions allow the veteran secondaries to study their opponents.  After a couple good games, a veteran will ensure that they won't get embaressed by a rookie and will play above and beyond.
