Ron Rivera clarified the changes at DT. Sione Fua, Terrell McClain will still start. But wants to decrease reps to prevent rookie fatigue.

Ron Fields expected to get more work. DEs Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy will continue to get reps inside in certain sub-packages.

Ron Rivera said he will limit reps by rookie DTs Sione Fua and Terrell McClain this week because they're hitting the so-called rookie wall.

That means more of DT Ron Fields and more of DEs Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy working inside.

Fields Era is about to begin.

I wonder how abrayu franklin and bary cofield are doing?

oh ya..

[CRA]

so really, no change. I mean they already started doing all those things. Talent well ran dry....no options to really go to.

More Kearse too I would imagine, he got some reps against the Falcons.

Will revisit this post in the off season.

There will be a Fields era? Really?

I've seen Ron Fields a few times chasing the RBs 20 yards down the field. Love seeing hustle from the big guys.

What's the "rookie wall?"

Was joking.

Franklin's been awful. In fact, the Saints are allowing more yards per carry than we are, despite getting him and Rogers :eek:

Even the Skins are allowing 4.6 on the ground and over 100 yards per game...

The rookie wall is the 5 offensive linemen they have to face each week

What's the "rookie wall?"

It's also the room divider they hide behind (in a fetal position) during film review sessions.

The rookie wall is the only thing Fua has hit all damn season.
