Message: [QUOTE="Capt. Tuttle, post: 5137120, member: 191"] Red’s moves to “age” his roster were subtle, but also overert. It tells me that not only is he prepared for the job, but he is confident enough to make moves he thinks he needs to make, and what happened under JB doesn’t matter. Respect the last, to be sure, but don’t be married to the old ways. Red realized that talent will win, but mature (physically and mentally), experienced, talent beats young talent. He also realized you can’t be tied to talent that isn’t willing to work and buy into the team concept. Some here may know, but I think he missed on Taylor last year. Without evidence, I think the kid was bullied by some players he was starting ahead of, and their buddies, and his confidence was just eroded. I think continuing to start him was an FU to those guys. In the end, it undermined a pretty fragile and poorly constructed roster. [/QUOTE]
