However, consider this. If the guys I suggest ought to "get a look" sometime in the final 3 games are not conducting themselves properly in the film roon or off the field, why are they still here? If the guys I suggest ought to "get a look" sometime in the final 3 games still cannot show enough in practice to play in a meaningless game, why are they still here?
Every team had "no offseason". The guys at the back-end of the Skins' 53 man roster are at no greater disadvantage than any other NFL player in terms of development.
I fully expect that not a single player that I suggested should "get a look" in the final 3 games will play so well that we will all wonder why they have not been starting since Game 1 of the season. They are going to be raw and they are going to make some mistakes. But in these last 3 games it just does not matter if that is what they do...
The cost of them making mistakes - - or even playing very poorly for the series or two they are on the field - - is minimal.

I'm just saying some guys develop faster than others, while some benefit from being brought along more slowly. Over the last 3 games perhaps we will see some other guys get some looks, but at the same time as I'm sure you know Shanahan is still trying to win these games, no matter what the suck for a draft pick crowd wants to think.
