He wasn't brought in to start right away and is clearly being brought along slowly, so how about giving the kid a chance first before you throw him out the door?

Exactly and well said... He is a rookie, he will make mistakes... Is a very long season people... i wouldnt let the 2nd game of the year worry anyone too much. We need Holmes in there to get reps, he made some awesome plays in pre season... He will be fine and i seriously doubt Lendale White was going to do anything that would have helped us tonight... he would have gotten hit prolly a few seconds before Parker did in the backfield.
IMO.. our O line didnt do its job, I kept Jax defenders beating us all over the field... I just think we got outplayed tonight and they wanted it more. Give the kid a break, he made a few mistakes.
