Man this has me really concerned, makes you wonder why Eagles let him walk?

James Daniels struggled when he first got to the Steelers last season, if Seumalo continues to struggle then I will start to worry.

 

Giving a player time because they worked hard rather than because it gives you the best chance of those plays succeeding is the equivalent of participation trophies.

Yes, I can say I understand how earning playing time works. You have to beat out other players and prove that the team is better off with you on the field. These are professionals, not children. If they don't have the motivation within them to keep working, then they can get their paychecks somewhere else. You know who does things that way and has done so for a very long time? Belichick. Check out his ring collection.

Players develop, but who they have been matters in evaluating them, too. Some guys show up in practice and can't make it translate to games. Some get better but still aren't good enough.

Yes, it looks like he got better on kickoff returns, so he can help there. The one catch was nice, but all he showed is the ability to run one route, one that they could run with Warren. Now that Johnson is out and there might be more opportunities for other skill players, McFarland is hurt and missing time. Availability matters, too.

 

Why would you trust PFF?
