This is no surprise to me. Morlon Greenwood (who I like) will probably not be here next season.

[WalterQ26]

its about time! I think he was a steal in the draft.

I dont know why we dont play our rookies more. Especially when we are already struggling. If we were winning then you never want to "rock the boat" or "fix something that aint broke", but when a team is playing poorly, you might as well let the rookies gain crucial experience that you dont get by watching on the sidelines.

I would also like to see what Antuan Molden could do at CB. Heck, with Okoye still nursing injuries, why not start Okam and see if the light goes off like it did for Adibi last week. We may have our answers at certain positions and never know it. Tom Brady is an example of that, and now even Cassel will probably get some trade talk. Slaton wouldnt even be the starter if Green had stayed healthy, why not let the rooks play?

i am excited to see him get another oppurtunity. I hope they give okam and molden a chance at playing time.

Okam has been playing quite a bit but he's tired down at this point in the season because his conditioning isnt great... With both our starting DT's hurt expect to see Okam play more towards the end of the season. As for molden he's played a bit in nickel defense but besides that mostly special teams.

And he is solid on special teams!

I would like to see Molden play as well. Other rookie corners have played for other teams in different situations and he needs to be out there to get some more experience. I've only seen him a few times and mostly on ST. Its not like the starters are lighting the world on fire either.

Right, we need better CB play. And he can't learn on a bench.
