It's the way it should be, imo. Other teams, like Philly, that are incorporating their rookies (Jackson) early on, are basically being forced to use them due to injuries. We've all seen the mistakes made by Jackson to date.

I have no doubt that Thomas, Davis and Kelly will eventually be a big part of the game plan, but making them earn their stripes, or helmet decals, as Zorn previously said, is not a bad way to go about it. Our entire offense will benefit from that in the near future.

Clear.
Concise.
True.
