The problem I have is that every year we see standout rookies starting and helping their teams win games. Look at our defense, other than Timmons and a "healthy" Troy and Ryan Clark is there anyone on our defense who is such a superior player that we couldn't put more talent on the field? It's not like these guys are making Pro Bowls like our great defense just a few years ago or setting sack and INT records for the team.
So what is keeping Steelers rookies from playing when rookies play all over the NFL? IMO it is an unnecessary resistance to just getting them out there and letting them show what they have. They don't have to replace the starter, but playing significant minutes over the course of the season shouldn't be an impossible task.
