I'm going to re-post, with all humility, my post from the "freshman playing time" thread of a couple of months ago.
Freshman playing time
Jigga makes the best point. It's the kids who raises their hand when Charlie
asks......"Alright, who wants to be on the kickoff team?"
The most exciting thing is that they all will have their shot to play.
Charlie's teams, like Belichick's and Parcell's, are meritocracies. If you can play
and perform, you will play. The more quality players that Charlie feels can perform
and that he can trust with making good decisions, the less the depth chart matters.
I see Charlie rotating his receiving corps much more than last year. Samardjiza off
for a play for a three tight end formation of Carlson, Freeman and Reuland.
Those three off for a five wide formation of Samardjiza, McKnight, Hord, Grimes
and Gallup. And so on and so on.
Don't forget that Charlie, in his current recruiting efforts, is looking for SPEED!
Look for guys who have it to get extra long looks.....Gallup, Prince, Grimes, et. al.
Now that D.J. is done for the year, I'm throwing Bragg into the equation.
