[QUOTE="danny daniel, post: 241130, member: 1376"] Have to respectfully disagree. If you have ever coached you know you have to look your players in the eye. Older players have put in their time and effort over and over and have built a resume of known performance over a variety of situations. A younger player has not yet proved himself in as many varied situations. If the players are truly[U] equal [/U]then the older player has earned the start IMO. Otherwise you are sending a signal to your players that you will chase the latest fad and all their time and effort is of little value. I do agree with playing the younger player (a lot) to build experience for the future, but the "start" carries a message of "earned". For example a senior like Alford has participated in 4 Fall Camps and 3 Spring Games (and by the way he has played a lot in those scrimmages) and dozens of practices, building a resume of performance. He has also played 3 years on special teams as a starter. A younger player ("equal") is still building that resume and deserves his playing time but maybe not the status of the "start", especially for the first game. [/QUOTE]
