And yes, I believe that's how long until he's ready. It's 3/4 months before he can start getting his body into game shape. So it will take some time before he's ready. Then, realize he's a rookie and it takes some time to get him acclimated to the speed of the game.
I'm saying he starts by Halloween. But we won't see the impact until december.

That's not pessimism, just rookies
