I see everybody’s side on this. But we still need to place someone with a pulse. We want some of the young guys to get some more playing time and experience and it not really kill us if we lose. You want those young guys to play against some talent so that way they can get better.
Cuts both ways. Iron sharpens iron, but playing against talent that swallows everything you are trying to do leads to confidence issues and no real opportunities to see the wheels fully in motion.
I would think equal talent would be a good learning experience, and superior talent a dejecting one.
In wrestling the common (failed) strategy was to pair experienced guys with new guys, thinking this would make the new guys “tougher” and “better”.
Turns out, laying on your back all evening unable to try to execute anything you need to learn isn’t a good way to make someone tougher and better.
For the record, none of our possible opponents scare me from a talent standpoint, and we would do just fine against any of them if highly motivated, which we will be.
