My opinion is just that. You can disagree but I'm more in tune with the bullsh*t the some of these kids are pulling than someone like you. For the last several years the kids at Rutgers have been playing for self and it reflects in how they respond to changing events around them. When things aren't right they quit on each other. Art was fine with burning his redshirt as long as Ash and McNulty were here. As soon as the they are no longer around, suddenly Art thinks redshirting is his best option. I don't disagree, but it's really a lie to demand it now. Also, several other players are suddenly interested in redshirting. Now these sudden selfish decisions have an impact on teammates who were depending on you. These moves should have been made at the beginning of the season so the team could plan around them. No you are putting other teammates in a position to fail or get injured because they may not be ready, players like Snyder or the other walk-on QB.
I understand the importance of team commitment. My senior year at Rutgers we have several injuries at OLB. Instead of burning the redshirts of some young players, I moved from safety to OLB for a few games until guys returned. I didn't have to move, but I saw the big picture. It wasn't about the coaches. It was about my teammates. I knew what I was getting into when I agreed to that scholarship.
