I agree. That's why I thing Martinez, AA and Heard should get most of the carries.
Wait a minute.
On one hand Lions says to let the player makers play meaning don't redshirt them. Then, he says we should redshirt someone who has proven on the field he can be a pretty darn good RB and knows the offense.
This is the problem I always have with the crowd that says..."The young play makers should be on the field". Well, the same thing was being said about Heard when he was a Freshman. So....are we always going to play freshmen and set upper classmen on the bench?
I agree that if there is room for Taylor and Newby to play neither of them should redshirt. Not only will it get them early playing experience but it will also look VERY ATTRACTIVE to future rb studs if we have had true freshman playing the possition each of the past three seasons. But if one has to be redshirted, I would prefer newby has an extra year to bulk up.
