I doubt Freeney saw that many early in his rookie year


Id say you’re correct.  He didn’t even start until about midway through the season.  
 

They’ll work Latu in, no need to wear him out early.  Guys coming out of college aren’t used to the long NFL season.

He’s a rookie on a very deep defensive line, especially at end, where the other team ran A LOT.  if anything I am surprised he played that much.  More importantly than how much he played he made his presence felt when he was in there drawing a couple of false starts, being held a couple of times and being in on the jailbreak sack but just didn’t win the race to the QB.  Not bad for a first outing against a really good left tackle.  Like Freeney and Mathis before him his snaps will go up the more experience he gets and the more sacks he gets.

 Thank you Go for your scholarly explanation. 

We don't want the young fans or those with less time to gather reliable takes to be led far astray.
