He's too old school when trying to make a kid feel like he has to get some seniority before playing. A lot of the kids coming into the NFL do make instant contributions if coached correctly. He is a plague.

Typically, Marvin has no trouble getting offensive players involved early on.  Andy, AJ Green, pretty much any running back has been able to get good touches by mid-season, Whitworth, Boling, Bodine, Zeitler, Eifert, Gresham, and I'm sure that I'm missing someone. They all either started, or made serious, meaningful contribution their rookie years. (and it really pains me to make an argument defending Marvin, AND having to include Bodine in it)

I think that the notion of Marvin not allowing rookies to play early on, is more applicable to defensive players.
