[QUOTE="icengineer, post: 1240835, member: 8141"] I think Lovie made the decision early on that perhaps sacrificing a win or two this season wasn't as important as getting our younger guys reps. Giving up a win or two this year and getting the younger guys some experience might give us another win or two next year (and the year after next) that wouldn't be there if we were starting inexperienced players. Having so many seniors this year and still being a borderline bowl team I think makes the decision easier. I don't think Lovie, or anyone else, will ever admit to that. So I'm doing it for them!:thumb: Beside that, Having a crappy year in year 1 of the Lovie tenure is much more palatable then in subsequent years. We are building for the future now, instead of waiting to do it next year. [/QUOTE]
