Willis Should Start

I start Willis and use MJ in the rotation and as a nickel DT like yesterday when he made the good play.

He is really quick for a DT. Maybe not a coincidence he looked good there.

I like Willis, and hope he is good enough to start by the end of the season.

But early on, I prefer to not start rookies if there is no glaring need to. That doesnt mean Willis and SMith shouldn't play. Not at all. But I like MJ in there on 1st downs due to him being a veteran that knows the pro game and can help stop the run better by having better knowledge of reading the offense at snap. Then bring in the rooks when it gets 2nd & 3rd and long. 

But if MJ isnt cutting it, then make a move sooner than later. At least the rooks will have some time to absorb the speed of the game from a mental and physical standpoint.
