I think if Herm was the coach now, he'd be playing ahead of Brown.

As it was last year, he had several things going against him.

One, he was a rookie.

Two, rightly or wrongly, the organization was happy with the play of Page, and barring injury, Pollard wasn't coming off the field, as they were going to give him every opportunity possible to "get it", seeing as how they invested a R2 pick on him.

In 2009, none of those apply. He's not sitting behind other young players, he's sitting behind a couple of scrub veterans.

If this truly is an "evaluation" year, then we should be evaluating our young players, correct?

Guys like Goff and Brown are getting in the way of possible progress.
