I really don't care to argue this, but I am bored, so...

I would argue that practicing with and just being around NFL players, being coached by NFL coaches, being in the Redskins weight room, and the game experience he got, even if it was only 8 games(if you count the preseason), does actually give him an experience advantage.

And to my second point, the blocking scheme and running game Thompson ran in at FSU is more similar to our offense's than Baylor's is, so I think my assumption was a safe one. I'm sure you've heard Seastrunk characterized as "raw"?

To be fair every rookie has a degree of "raw" in them. I dont care to argue it either but I am saying there really isn't much experience factor between Seastrunk and Thompson.
