It's not really cutting corners. The Redshirt is a valuable tool, but you can't determine who you try to redshirt in a vacuum. The plan was to RS Boyle, but that was when two able QBs were ahead of him. There are some who believe he still should not have played at all in any game in an effort to keep his redshirt. I've come to terms with burning his Redshirt over the last 2 months, because while trying to keep it is good in theory and works on the PlayStation, real life is far different. Real life doesn't have a reset button. In real life, both QB's need to prepare as if they are going to play. In real life, the backup needs to be mentally ready to go into the game if the starter gets hurt.I will respectfully disagree; it is cutting corners.
The frustrating thing about this thread is that it continues a theme of taking something other than facts and spinning them out of control. Who is the 4th corner this week? According to media reports it is HADLEY, not Brice. Diaco HAS to burn ONE red shirt, period. You do get that? You do see that he was trying to RS both Brice and Hadley. He will likely try and avoid burning 2. But he will not punish the other kids on the team who are trying to learn, do the right thing, and win by pulling you and me out of the stands and lining us up at corner to protect a RS.
Same thing here. The one thing I agree with Whaler whole heartedly is that McAllister is on the two deep only because Jones got hurt. If he didn't get hurt, this discussion does not happen, but given the teams' resources and talent level, McAllister is next man up. So be it.

bashaud Breeland is the pick. CB...Skins looking for a guy who can help at this spot in 2015 and beyond. don't need big contributions in '14
Breeland was a 4th round pick and expected to play sparingly (Nickel and Dime packages, if that). Then D'Angelo Hall tore his ACL and Breeland just turned in his first monster performance (of hopefully many more) on Monday Night for the 'Skins.
