IDK, but SR hasn't been on the field at all through 7 games and we have not played the Patriots this season, so I know which rookie hasn't done it.

Seriously? That was in training camp. In practice, during a drill. The teams weren't even fully lined up against each other.

Whats the point?

With his outstanding performances before he got hurt do people actually think he won't improve this defense?

improve the defense verse being the cog that we have missed on the line and the sole reason for our defensive line woes are two completely different things.

He is a rook, and we hope he is very good, but expectations should be tempered since he is a rookie that has missed half a season.

and his point was the same one I made, he has never intercepted Tom Brady on a screen pass. preseason stats and play do not count. And before you shoot the messenger- that isn't my rule. Worse than quoting a play in a preseason game is disingenuously making a statement that grossly exaggerates the reality by purposely leaving out the surrounding context.

Now preseason doesn't matter? I distinctly remember there was a certain level of crying about our offensive line. But go ahead and tell me about context.

I said getting Rankins back is like replacing a bad spark plug and you come running in like I was digging in your fridge. Relax, we're on the same team

I think he will at the very least hold his own and keep us from seeing any more drop off. He missed a lot of time though and to count on him making a big impact right away is asking a little much.
