Lou says he's being more patient with the young guys manning his secondary, DJ Reader only partially agrees

Anarumo never played a rookie more than 420 snaps before last season. This year, he could end up with three, if first-rounder Myles Murphy eventually warrants an uptick. That’s before considering Hill is in his first season as a starter.

Quote:“He’s doing better,” said captain DJ Reader of his coordinator’s rookie tolerance. “It’s the secondary, so I know that’s tough on him because those are his babies. He’s not bad. They do piss him off a lot, though.”

Quote:There’s hope the evolution of the rookie class, including more snaps for Battle, could be the solution going forward instead of the problem.

“Those guys are growing on (Anarumo),” Reader said. “They are not dumb, they are just young and reckless. They came along and are showing you got to play them. I just don’t think any rookie is to be trusted. You just hope being a competitor has taken over.”
