What baffles me is that a player can do pretty good in preseason but ride Marvins bench come game 1. If a guy earns a job, give it to him. That's what Hues problem was in Cleveland. Mayfield clearly won the QB position, but Hue wanted the experience - then gone! Marvin is the same way. Marvin loves his veterans and plays experience in front of talent. Might have been ok 10yrs ago, but not in todays NFL.
Yep and don’t forget Nick Chubb getting no snaps because they had Carlos Hyde. Hue and Marvin are cut from the same cloth. They love their vets and rookies play if no other option or some reason I can’t fathom. How else do you explain Jefferson not playing? I’m not saying he will be a star but his speed, pedigree and the weakness and injuries of the LB group should have translated to a serious look. Instead a typical redshirt year. Redshirt years can hinder development imo
