Bennet has the most potential, but he hasn't played very well this year (nor has anyone else back there). I would like to see Molden play to get an idea of what we've got, but the coaches have watched him through training camp and at practice every week so I know they already have a decent idea.

Should the young guys be playing? Probably, but Kubiak knows he needs to show something in these last five games to keep his job status secure. Same for Smith. They are going to go with the guys that give them the best chance to win. The veterans on the team are smart enough to know when a young guy is getting PT just for being young. It sends a sign to the team that they have given up for the year, and I can't blame Kubiak for not wanting to send that message.

He said alot for me so

I could continue, but I will stop here.

And for the record, I am not a Kubiak hater, I think he is a hell of an offensive coach, I just think he falls in love with some players for certain reasons (faggins because he trys hard on every play and has a good attitude), and tends to keep giving them chances for too long. Reeves may end up being a decent cb for this team, but if he does, I think it will be at the nickle position.

And I would like to add to that Slaton didnt get to start until Green got hurt. Im just saying that im starting to question their judgement on how to handle young players playing time. It seems like times when they should be getting playing time they are just sitting on the bench. They should be getting in the games every opportunity they can when they arent detrimental the outcome. Its not like our D has been lights out and cant be improved.
