[QUOTE="1939hotmagic, post: 444905, member: 1792"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=4]What a nice “problem” to have re James Graham temporarily shifting to WR, of having the luxury to play him in four games this season without the redshirt being burned. Chances are high that he won’t be needed against Alcorn State or Bowling Green, so – contrary to the conventional wisdom (that I agree with) that those two games would be fine to play most scout-team redshirts for a little mop-up duty – here’s hoping that Graham, with his potential, is [B]not [/B]used in those two games. Let’s hope he isn’t needed against USF or Pitt. If Graham’s raw ability can be exploited primarily for a package of plays, if Tech can defeat most opponents without him, then great – perhaps use Graham against Clemson and at least one other ACC opponent, maybe two (VPI and/or Miami). There being an assortment of ways the season could unfold, and depending if Graham is used in only two or as many as three games, then the end of the season might present a tough choice: Use him against Georgia, or skip the Georgia game (since it’s non-conf) and save him for the ACC title game and/or a bowl game. Of course, there’s the hyper-realist approach, too: Tech’s shot at defeating Clemson or Georgia is small. Don’t “waste” Graham in those games. Use him against VPI, Miami, and in two other games from among Louisville, Duke, UNC, and Virginia. Maximize his value against beatable conference opponents in the regular season, but if he’s not available (without burning the redshirt) for the ACC title game and/or a bowl game, so be it. At least he helped get us there, and he’ll be eligible for four more seasons. And finally: If Graham can contribute [I]greatly[/I] as a WR, or even if he’s just “average” but is [I]needed [/I]for more than four games, then fine, burn the redshirt; c’est la vie. What the heck, I'll let CPJ decide. ;) [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
