Dre Greenlaw got promoted to backup WLB today. Might be hard to keep him off the field this year

RW3 is probably our 3rd best back. I still think he's redshirted unless there's injury.
I'm of the belief you do not redshirt RBs capable of performing on the field.
Yeah, it might be a "wasted year" for some if the guy gets a hand full of carries per game, but you actually get more out of him for his career doing that then having him leave after a RS year and 2 years on the field (Moreno at UGA for example). If the guy has a "star" ability, don't RS them.
Its only going to get worse as the NFL devalues the position, they only have so many carries for so many years in the NFL before they are replaced with a younger equally productive mid-late round pick. Of course there are the exceptions to this norm, but these guys wouldn't have their freshman year debated as RS or not for the most part.
