[QUOTE="OldJacketFan, post: 2298, member: 304"] Most coaches will tell you that the further away from the ball the easier it is to come in and play. Again this assume your talent and ability is greater than the upperclassmen. With O line and D line most, if not all, would benefit from a redshirt year to spend time physically maturing and time in the weight room. If you look at most of the top programs you see that they redshirt most of their incoming linemen. Taking an 18-19 year old freshman lineman and putting him up against a 22-23 redshirt senior if usually not a good idea ;-) With the skill position players it is easier but still freshmen face a daunting task task with the serious rise in the level of competition. The always exceptions but in my mind the vast majority of players will benefit from a redshirt year. [/QUOTE]
