This thread is in no way meant to bash the guy - just to get some opinion on his lack of snaps after 2 games as a 2nd rounder. Especially with Norwood returning - someone's gotta be inactive among P Rich, Norwood, Walters, Lockette? Cant see Walters and Lockette being inactive for the next game since Walters returns punts and Lockette is a ST stud on top of his receiving skills.
With his speed, I guess I am just a little surprised with his lack of snaps. Granted our offense wasnt on the field very long in the SD game, but Pete looked overjoyed when this guy was drafted talking about how speed kills and having him and Percy on the field together was going to be fun to watch...He will get his snaps in due time I am sure, but to me 2nd round picks come in and play right away - or at least that is the expectation (or at least mine - lol).
I know they want to 'develop' these guys before they are thrown into the fire - but 2nd round picks should at least be seeing the field a little more than 10 snaps against the Pack and whatever the snaps were that he played against SD. With Pete and Johns draft record, its hard to argue their philosophy - but we can still discuss my higher playing time expectations.
Watching the Eagles game last night and hearing Jordan Matthews name got me thinking that I havent even heard P-Rich's name since the preseason. Also, watching the game last night, made me fantasize about what Pete could do with Percy and Sproles on the same team. I hate the Eagles, but that guy is MONEY.
