. If Whitworth was hurt in week one and you have Noteboom, rookie TBD and Allen as the left side of the OL that is not a good situation. It just isn't. And if that happens (or if Havenstein or Blythe gets hurt) the sub will be playing with two established vets, not four.
Well I think the point stands since it is still comparative.
Looking just at Edwards for an example.
Scenario 1. Edwards playing on a line with Demby, Neary, Brewer & Evans = avg. 0.2 starts & avg. 0.6 years in the league (including 3 rookies total).
Scenario 2. Edwards playing (let's say at LOT) on a line with NB, Allen, Blythe, & Hav = (counting Edwards) avg. 15.6 starts & avg. 1.8 years in the league (including 1 rookie).
I mean just off the top of your head, in which unit will the rookie look better overall?
This is based on the premise that unit cohesion means the sum is greater than its parts. And you don't have cohesion like that with a predominantly rookie OL.
