Injuries and depth have had a lot to do with their their diminishd snap count.  I think this season they will get ample opportunity to prove themselves...unless, of course, they sign Freeney!

The secondary is a bit different. Marvin really doesn't like starting rookies at corner or safety. He's only done it twice in his time here and both those times we were extremely thin at corner and the defense in general wasn't that good then. Lately, he's trying to maintain a top level defense.

But for a 2nd round DE pick to go three full years and get very, very little playing time? Hunt could barely get on field when MJ left and Gilberry was a starter. Neither could Clarke.

Of our more recent DL picks, only Thompson has gotten decent playing time. Still is gone, Hunt never developed, Clarke hasn't developed. Hardison is only going into his second year, so really can't count him as we really didn't expect much from him last year. Hunt and Still were both 2nd round busts.
