Ditto Ed Curnow who is pretty much an everywhere man.
The kids were in the 60's (kennedy, DOw, SPS). If you have 4 players playing less than 3/4 of football, you are effectively using one bench spot on them each quarter meaning everyone else is significantly impacted.
Something that for me at least gets forgotten in the "play the kids" mentality. The impact of that rotation down on other players is quite significant, and we are being forced to play more and more of the kids.
