The first time in a long time and maybe the first time in the BB area where we will see many rookies on the field in key positions,especially on defense.
I think in order for this team to be successful in 2008 the rookies not only have to play more often because of areas that are weaker like ILB or lacking depth like OLB and CB but they have to have a near instant positive impact and I think we must rely on at least most of them to show immediate talent on the field and not like the past where we rarely saw rookies and if we did they were usually in on garbage time or to give the vets a little breather while the vets slowly helped the youngsters get acclimated to the pros as the season progressed - now we will see many of them in week 1.
How much of an impact do the rookies need to have to keep this team on top of the NFL?
To me the key rookies who must step up and play real well quickly are Wheately,Mayo and Slater who I expect to see as a KR man
