Good point Promo, Kieth Ellison was all over the field yesterday and Ko Simpson shows up to play almost every Sunday. Whitner is coming along, but i said it before the season during training camp, and i will say it again; the guy can't cover the tight ends in the NFL.
As for McCargo, right before he was injured his presence was there on my TV, and that is all that i ask. Before McCargo got hurt, our run defense is not as bad as it has been since his injury. So i don't think that people were really giving him a fair shake since we are so used to guys like Sam Adams and Pat Williams, who are very difficult to miss on television, or anywhere for that matter.
This rookie class has had more impact on this team in its rookie year than any of Donahoe's did in their's. Give it time, i think these guys can only get better. Ko Simpson included.
