Lets try him at TE too

What was his 40 time????

That's the point. I would like see them improve by being given snaps in rotation to relieve vets who are better today. Increasing the number of vets won't help that situation. The new vets get the rotation snaps or we're paying them to back up the backups that we want to develop into starters. The UDFAs can handle that.
ps: Surely you aren't comparing Bandy to QJ or Tuszka to Tuli?

So are you saying that 2023 is simply a learning experience for the young guys? Sounds like a great way to win games . . . . . . .

Let the starters get the majority of snaps while we develop the depth in a rotation? Bingo!

But in case of injury, as we saw last year., wouldn't it be better if the back-ups were more than UDFA types that you get off the street

It would be the ideal situation that Telesco signs a couple veterans and they are inactive every week as the younger players stepped up and are producing.

Make the kids beat out a veteran to earn their reps . . . . . . . . . that's the way to do it.

The best players play . . . . . . if you want to win that is

Thats the way I see it. And I understand that you cannot get the optimum depth at every position,. But at this point, Edge and S seem like they could use the veterans just in case the young guys do not step up. Last year it was WR but hopefully - thats more solid this year.

Pretty much. The D front isn't like OL, play the same 5 every snap all year. They're better with a break occasionally, change the scheme up.
Of course the best break is to take themselves off the field with a takeaway or forced punt. Getting a significant lead also provides a good time to work on developing the depth.

Rumph and Tuli are UDFAs off the street? or the guys behind them - which if that, then thats true.

I did read good things about one of our Edge UDFA, some jackoff hack "pundit" listed him as #2 UDFA likely to make the team

If they would take the ball away on the first down of every series, they'd always be fresh, they'd have maybe 8 plays a game. they just need to apply themselves.

Yep . . . . . . it would be great if the D would play about 30 plays / game . Have those guys bitching that they're not getting enough run

CAN we get a significant enough lead? Ever??? What a luxury . . . . . . . . . . might even happen in our lifetimes - anything is theoretically possible . . . . . . . .
