Steelers
Stephon Tuitt (D-end) - appeared in all 16 regular season games, starting 4 of them
Bud Dupree (LB) - played in all 16 games with 5 starts as a rookie
Jarvis Jones (LB) - played in 14 games with 8 starts as a rookie
I smell some spin.
Eifert played more snaps his rookie season (673) than Tuitt (397), Dupree (563), or Jones (630) yet you label Eifert as a backup and highlight the handful of starts by Tuitt, Dupree, and Jones.
Also Tyler Boyd played more snaps his rookie season (739) than Schuster did last year as a rookie (704)
I don't see anything wrong with the Bengals draft "strategy". Instead I think we have been hurt by "execution". We just missed on more picks than the Steelers.
