I'm amazed that we haven't seen him on some plays a least.

its basically hurting Rockys development. no way are we playing for anything now. put the kid in, get him some experience and see if he can make some plays. No way are we keeping Holdman next year, so who cares. I think this coaching staff is far to forgiving for the veterans. They all want these guys on the field. its just not that kind of NFL anymore. it may have been a thinking mans game, and to some extent it still is. But players now are so fast, and athletic that you need to have them on the field. Especially a 2nd round pick that you HAD TO HAVE! LB especially. I think our season is so far down the toilet, that if rocky misses a couple of tackles or out of position for a play or two its not going to break our season. Plus, with his speed and ability he may make some plays, cause a turnover, hey and maybe make some tackles that Holdman just can't seem to make.
Holdman has gotten off rather easy if you ask me. Arch was getting toasted a lot and got benched. Holdman is out of position and getting mushed all the time, missing tackles and still on the damn field. What ever happened to James Posey. I thought they were suppose to rotate him in and out from time to time. he would be better than holdman, all though he is an old guy.
