Tyler Eifert
Russell Bodine

Wasn't over 90% of that list either basically forced into starting due to nobody behind them, or in a guy's case like Eifert a TE2 anyway?

I'm not agreeing with the notion that the coaching staff is like "nope, definitely not going to play this rookie that has looked good because our other crappy guy has been here longer!", so don't get me wrong here. I just don't know if listing a bunch of guys that were taken in high rounds that were drafted as immediate needs is proving much.

It's really simple. Most coaching staffs in the entire NFL are going to play their veterans if they believe they're better players than the rookies, plain and simple. Nobody in the world is right 100% of the time, sometimes the coaches are wrong, it happens. Marvin and the gang put whoever they feel is the better player on the field, whether their decision are always right is another story, but they aren't just a group of stubborn old men that refuse to put rookies on the field.
