With a team depending on many young players, rookies and only entering our second season with a new coach and systems the longer this drags out the more it will hurt teams like us.
The longer the younger and returning players can't get back on the field to continue learning the system the further it puts us behind. Add in the fact our team will depending on a lot of rookies contributing that will set us back even further.
It already takes a while for a rookie to learn the system and get acclimated to the NFL. If this lockout drags on and they can't get into mini camps and lose part or most of training camp it will set them behind even further for this upcoming season.
Veteran teams that have played together for a while and been in the same system won't be affected as much. All they need is some fine tuning to get ready for the season.
Veterans also are experienced on what they need to do to get physically ready for the season where a young player isn't.
We are not a playoff team anyway this season but I fear it will set our young players even further behind the longer they can't start practicing and working out with the team. The NFL needs to get their crap together and get this lockout ended and the new CBA into place.
