Second, if you think these guys have what it takes to succeed, you don't want to put them out there before they are ready, because they will get schooled, and their confidence could be ruined.
Guys like this have to be brought along at a reasonable pace, and as has been pointed out many times now, when they did get on the filed, they played pretty well.

We will agree to disagree but let me say this in the NFL if you are on the 53-man roster you are expected to be able to play in the NFL with the exception of a rookie Qb. If you need time to develop that is what the practice squad is for.
My concern is that these guys aren't or weren't good enough to come in and replace a horrible Turley, Weigmann, and Welborne. Hell we basically played with 2 players on the O-Line all last year.
