Guys have stepped in and done really well. They've played a lot of ball, so it's not much that they haven't done, that they can't grasp. So those guys have done a really great David Montgomery Jersey  job of getting up to speed very quick."Leonir, a 2021 fifth-round pick, is in line to get an extended look against the Eagles after playing 90 snaps last week. He was targeted three times, allowing just one catch for three yards.  "D-Mo was fine. He didn't blink," Ryans said. "To be a rookie for his first game and to be tasked with that Danny Trevathan Jersey  many reps. Of course, we didn't want that many reps, but one thing I liked about D-Mo, he didn't blink. He competed every snap and he was good."He continues to work and get better. So, I'm proud Tom Waddle Jersey  of the way he fought through the game, a lot of reps, but he fought through and it's encouraging to see where he can keep going."
