Fast isn't the same as good.

It looks like if Saine gets any action it will be filling in for Starks.

I think if Grant was that good at pass pro, he'd be in on third down. I don't think they take him out because he's the "starter."

He's going to get some increased playing time now. Starks is probably going to be out for at least a few weeks.

Grant is the starter, because they want to give props to him as a veteran. Starks has surpassed him. Green and Saine are better than Grant too, imo. They just haven't gotten their shots yet. Not saying that because I have a mancrush. Only because it's true.

I think Levens was better than Grant, just due to his vision, although I think Levens was also a better receiver out of the backfield and could get to the corner better. I think the high percentage offense and screens that Levens ran made him look better than guys like Starks.

What we averaging a game running the ball 65-70. Wake me up when we have a problem. All this does is keeps Starks fresh for the stretch run.
