Joseph- Started game one of his career
Hall- Started game one of his career, lead the team in INTs as a rookie
DreK- Injured most of rookie year and behind 3 top quality CBs in Hall, Jones and Newman
Dennard- Injured and behind Jones, Hall and DreK
WJ3- TBD
I think this whole easing thing is a myth.......
That's not true both Joseph and Hall saw more playing time towards the end of their rookie seasons but neither started from day one. We had Tory James and Deltha O Neal at the time starting and we eased them in just like we do now. The difference is James and O Neal weren't as good as the CBs we had starting in front of Kirk, Dennard and WJ3 so I think we were in more dire need of good secondary play. That and I believe a few injuries had Joseph and Hall contributing more quickly.
