I mean, I don't want to blame them too much considering that they're rookies and the fact that one of them was drafted int he 4th and the other was drafted in the 7th, but it's not like they've been really consistent, even play-to-play. The have shown flashes, and in some games have played pretty well, but they're far from polished products at this point.
Anyway,
I'll tell you what has been noticeable, it's how unnoticeable the safety play has been. They're covering okay for the most part, but they aren't making the big plays, like INTs, pass breakups, etc. Neither Reid nor Thornhill have been able to be, either alone or in concert with the other, the play-maker that HB was back there, for whatever reasons.
