I heard he was starting but he didn’t play a snap on that first drive. Is he hurt?

The original report was incorrect out of Houston. He’ll be in the defensive line rotation no doubt.... he’s #90 and playing currently

I just saw him in on a play with about 7minutes left in the half.

Sucks. You would think a top draft pick like him would start or at least play more than one or two plays in the half

First I’ve heard. Thought this was mid season.

It looks like when Watt is outside, he lines up inside kf him. I think it is a sheme thing where they want Watt disrupting from a 1 technique.
He may be tbeir base package starter, but not their fancy scheming starter

Well judging by your post I wasn't sure if you knew it was week 1 of RB's rookie year or week 7 of his third year.

Just looks like he isn’t a major part of their rotation. He seems to be subbing for 92.

Not just as a rookie. Immediately in week 1. In a year with no preseason and barely any training camp.

Well, Edwards-Helaire looks decent enough.

RB's pretty routinely go into the league and play really well right away. Very little learning curve at that position.
Not to mention he's on the best offense in the league where he is the 4th or 5th guy that defenses are worried about. He's going to put up big numbers if he stays healthy.

Same with DL.

What now??? You think the learning curve for a rookie interior d-linemen is the same as a RB?

It’s not that much harder, no. RB is the easiest transition, but DL is a close second.

You keep saying DL as if it's all the same. Edge guys rushing the passer can certainly come in sometimes and make an immediate impact but that's not what Ross does. Outside of coming off the edge to get the QB there is a lot of technique and nuance to being a linemen in the NFL that very few guys in college have. You don't just show up and start doing it unless you're incredibly special.

I’m incredibly special, but I never did any of that stuff.

Me and you both.
