I've stated all along that sometimes we might have a very good player and Pete will not play them until necessary.
For instance Tate, he wasn't a player that ran good routes he had to learn and learn, and until Sidney got injured is when he was able to fully show the coaches what he can do.
Same thing with Sherman, until Walter Thurmond went out with injury.
and we knew about what happened when Byron Maxwell took over for Brandon Browner, and Lane as well.
Thomas Rawls showing up in Marshawn's place.
Sometimes this coaching staff will not do it until it is deemed necessary.
Anyone else wondering the same thing about Lockett and Frank Clark's playing time.
It was stated that Lockett was drafted just to be a returnman until they saw that he was a much better receiver than they had thought.
Frank Clark is in rotation and now gets a few more snaps because of Jordan Hill's injury. It's not until he moves all the way up to the depth chart will we get to see a potential that I think will blow the coaches minds.
The coaches aren't perfect, and if it wasn't for some of those injuries we would never be able to see how great some of the players I mention up above performed.
Also look at the Cardinals last year, how many of their starters went out and all of sudden their backups were playing better than the starters. Talking about only on the defensive side of course.
