I'd put him in early in the game and tell the entire offense: block for this man like your life depends on it.

With our attrition at BBack lately, screw the redshirt. Play him when you got him.

No! CPJ will not call plays that require a read with the B back when CJ is in the game.

Are you saying CJ's game time will be scripted? This make since as I wonder if Snoddy's plays are scripted as I have not seen him block.

Of course they are. It's not a coincidence that CP is the lead blocker so often. I'm not sure you call it scripted but it's definitely having players in the right position.

If CJ isn't ready and is only getting carries after Days and Conners, then why play him unless something happens to Days. I hope we can get up early and keep him on the sideline. How many attempts will he get if he behind the other two. I don't want to burn a red shirt just to carry the ball a couple of times. Plus I think that ZL will be back this season.

My thinking about the redshirt "burn it durn it".
I look at players as people I would have working for me.
If I didn't think you were capable of getting the job completed satisfactorly, I wouldn't hire you.
Same thing with coaching and players.
We should have enough confidence in the people who have day to day interactions with these players to make sure the player is well versed in his assignment.
We learn by our mistakes. .....
Let the learning for CJ begin today.

Well, you probably know better than I but there are some jobs that you get hired for that you still need training, certification and trips to that conference where quality control guidelines are cemented in to the consciousness of the employee. Hope playing CJ is not like throwing the guy onto your most important account before he even knows the right codes to use.

Save him. Unless we could win the NC. I would rather have him as fifth year senior than a freshman fumbling when it counts.

I believe we did that with Jemea Thomas, and I don't recall it being an injury thing.

This is kinda hard to square with PJ's earlier comment that he will not burn the redshirt for four plays a game. I have a lot of confidence in Days, but I am excited about the prospect of seeing CJ today. I guess we'll know in a few hours!

Many players start game one as freshman and we are halfway through the year. Certainly there are risks but that goes both ways. He could have an incredible rs senior year or forgo that year to go pro or suffer a season ending injury his final year etc. To me, if the coaches think he is needed now, put him in.
