You can do a lot to cover for a green OL when he's on the field.
And it's largely been interior offensive linemen he's been willing to plug and play as rookies - and they're MUCH simpler to protect.
And hell, it may be as simple as him having better feel for when those guys are ready - he's a fantastic OL guy. I think he has confidence in them quicker/easier because he can see what they're doing like he's Neo in the Matrix.
