EEs that can play early IMO -
Amari Carter (Possible Starter at SS)
Navaughn Donaldson (Possible Starter at RT or LT)
Billy Gibson (Early PT as a backup and on Special Teams)
Deejay Dallas (PR or KR, and CB depth)
Steed or Jennings (Special Teams and LB depth) - Maybe one of them red shirts
Redshirt -
Polendey
Dykstra
Hillery
Weldon
Unknown - Burns
I think Steed will red-shirt. Not saying he isn't talented, but the kid just had surgery to repair a torn ACL a week or two ago. Personally I'd like to red-shirt him so he doesn't rush back and set himself back.
Lets not rush him, agreed.
Generally speaking though my perspective on red shirting has changed. I want to play as many kids as I can. The redshirt is important for QBs. The shirt benefits both the OL and DL, but OL more. Everyone else I could care less if we shirted or not. Don't get me wrong, there may come a time where we don't need frosh at every spot, but now we do.
my view has evolved as well. if a kid is a stud, play him. he wont be sticking around for that 5th year anyway if he's worth anything. and if we have kids sticking around for their 5th year and not going pro, id hope we have someone younger and more talented to play instead. this is miami.
