The majority of the rookies I think will be fine, as most will be backups to start with. Now the rookies that are there to fill a hole and will most likely be starters, are going to be beat on hard and I am sure they know it.

I am so happy we picked up Shaun Ellis straight from the Jets too, that was fantastic.
Like you say it's going to be a very interesting season that's for sure.

Re: Nfl Time
The Lions will come good this year.
not SB contenders, but just having a sniff of the playoffs will be a decent improvement.

Oh, whoopee! The incredible spectacle of an hour's "action", stretching out over 3 or 4 hours. I can really understand how a game where stoppage time is more than twice as long as playing time would keep you on the edge of your seats.

The breaks are to allow the tv fans to go and get more food, you can't eat 5000 calories a game if you don't have time to go and get some more.
