He's on 21 years old, by the way.
If he falters, Hall gets his starting role back. I thought if we drafted a starting CB, Hall could move to FS but it's crowded back there now.

So, defending our NFC East crown isn't important.. We are still developing rookies and throwing them out week 1 to "develop"
I think it's more important to start the best players and allow the younger ones to build confidence in to a starting role. You throw Amerson out early and he gets burned and loses confidence in his ability and it could get worse. Remember, this guy is coming off his worse season on the college level.
