[QUOTE="SoonerPack, post: 603758, member: 9838"] I believe it's the fear of the doomsday scenario where either 18 or 87 goes down for any length of time. Having a salty veteran to step in is typically a better tourniquet than a green pea. I played the devils advocate earlier in this thread regarding the signing of a guy like WW but in reality I much prefer the young guys getting a shot. I think you obviously have to be prepared for injuries but at what cost? If the coaches don't think Janis and or Abby could step up at some point then I don't understand why they would be on the team. For instance I am sure the coaches had no intention of Linsley starting every game last year but due to injuries that became a reality and in this particular instance worked out smashingly! David B. the year prior when Bulaga went down in a heap. Another thought of mine is just because the #4 didn't do much last year doesn't necessarily mean the coaches wanted it that way. I would venture to guess there are plenty of plays with a 4 WR set they would like to show but if the players aren't quality enough to warrant such looks I see no reason why they would run them. Boykin fell off the face of the earth last year and I believe if he had played to a similar level as '13 he would've been much more involved. Dude couldn't catch a cold last year so the coaches couldn't trust him to be out there. I love the possibilities of Janis and Abby being players next year and fully expect them to!
