1: TV announcers were always quick last season to point out Cline’s limited high school football experience and how he had been thrust into a starting role. Looking at our depth chart this season at TE, Malleck will be No. 1, Bucky will be used in a number of ways, and Redman has a defined role as an in-line blocking TE (i.e. he’ll get some snaps). Presuming Malleck is fully healthy, does it make sense to redshirt Cline this season?

Chris Coleman: That’s a very good question, and for many positions I might answer “yes.”  However, I’m going to say “no” this time around, for a few reasons.

1) At this point in his career, I’m not sure Frank Beamer is interested in playing for the long-term.  He wants to win now.  At least that’s what I would want to do if I were in his shoes.  Redshirting guys like Kalvin Cline doesn’t help you win now.
