I like the rookies but as it pertains to the DL this is the facts.
Clark= Injury problems the last few years
Jones= Has missed games in recent years
Kaindoh= Missed most if the season through injury
Herring= Has a bad injury history
So that's four guys you're relying on throughout the season who could/will potentially miss games. Veach banged on and on about "fixing the D-line" and thus far all we've seen is Karlaftis for Ingram and Stallworth for Reed. One a rookie, the other a rotational guy.
If Clark and Jones both have to miss a game like they did last season against the Eagles the DL would potentially be..
....Danna...Nnadi...Stallworth...Karlaftis..
That would be the worst DL we've had in several years. I'm trying to be patient but if Veach contrives to leave the DL room as it is then it would be a HUGE mistake imo. Another two vets (Suh & Dunlap perhaps) should be the bear minimum he should be aiming for i believe. Anything less then he's seriously neglecting that group despite having the cap space to add talent.
