I agree. They said he was quick and played very well during training camp and the off-season. Let Usama play more.

During training camp and preseason, a lot of players looked good. Brees, Thomas, Simoneau, Henderson, Patton, etc. It was a small sample size and he wasn't playing against the best of talent. I'm not saying Young isn't going to be good or that he isn't better than what we currently have on the field, but I'm sure some of it was hype... we're not going to throw our 3rd rounder under the bus. Get what I'm saying? The same can be said about all our draft picks.

With that said, I really like Young. He along with Alleman were my two favorite picks and I think they're both going to be solid starters for us... eventually. This a team that went to the NFC Championship game last year. We definately don't look like it from the 0-2 start, but the core is still there. Have a little faith. I'm sure when Payton feels that when Young is ready to contribute, he'll be on the field. No need to rush him in there... if he plays horrible, his confidence might get shattered. We paid David a good amount of money... give him a chance to work out his kinks. Payton's a good coach... we'll turn things around. Patience... we still have 14 more games to go.

Teams learn quick. The second time or the third time around they have figured out what you are going to do. 2 things you can do:
1) It is up to you to adjust the game plan.
2) Just go out and prove that even if the other team knows what you are going to do. They can do nothing to stop you.
Well that last part (#2) we lack.
