Team Needs a "Youth" Movement

Postby ojaipony » Thu Jan 02, 2014 5:33 pm

I know LB likes to go with experience and then bring in the young'uns for a spark but I feel we need to start the young 'uns.

Bench Russell (and maybe Williams and Manuel). Start Kennedy, N. Moore, Yannick (I know he's a junior but I mean "young" relative to being on this team), Frazier, and maybe B. Moore. Bring in the "experienced" ones when/if the young 'uns get sloppy . . . and just for a blow.

I don't think I should really be questioning LB but it's fun on a discussion board. :-)

The feeling out period is over. He just needs to play the best players, and that's mostly the younger guys. Ironically, the first pressure, packed house environment most of these guys will have faced will be Saturday at home. (did I really just say that???) I think we'll see who can step it up this weekend.

I am sure Larry values your advice and will take it for what it is worth. :D
