yes
coach's tend to be conservative in their roster rotations.
maybe to a fault
but you want to put new players in a spot to be successful.
this is not a small endeavor.
how they fit. that initial fit and fill is important
often think that when you know you have serious talent it's just a matter of time and comfort to bust a move
Former Ram John Johnson prepping to take the field showed so well that it was not a hard decision to send Maurice Alexander off the roster. That's a rarer moment.
Most of the time it does take a longer path for a coach to ascent to the new kid taking the field. Even in a small role.
Boy, I remember how bad Maurice Alexander looked in his last few games as our starter (especially the last game) it was painfully obvious he was cooked and such a breath of fresh air for JJ to come in and play so competently.
