[QUOTE="wreckrod, post: 441993, member: 1935"] I think you have to filter everything through a "win THIS game" lens. When you're on the battlefield and have to win right now, I think saving a redshirt already weighs next to nothing on the decision scales, with the new rule even more so. If you think a young player is better than a dinged up 1st string guy, you put him in. Period. There's really not but one or two games a year where things are safely wrapped up with a decent amount of time left on the clock. I have too many players and not nearly enough playing time for everybody, and now it's even worse cause there are guys who can play and keep their redshirt. Maybe if you're on the fence about a freshman you stick him in and see if he's what you're thinking he is, and if he helps you win now you keep him in. I really don't expect this to change much of anything except for 1-2 guys occasionally filling in for a 1st string guy who is dinged and sits out the rest of a game but is back the next week.
