re: Grade the starters through 5 games

maybe i'm wrong on this train of thought, lol, have been before. but here goes. it seems to me that cns is a lot like stallings in that, the best practice players play, regardless of how they perform in the actual games. and, just a bit of seniority is in play also. the upper classman that performs well thru the week in practice, plays, period. shades of riddell vs alexander is in my mind. so, am i any where in the ballpark with this thought?
