So do you feel the same way when a true freshman comes in and takes the position of a 4 year starter or do you just care to get the best players on the field at all times like a good coach does?

Get real dude....we have good coaches who have been around and they'll make the decisions to be in everyone's best interests and foremost the team. JJ may have academic issues plus had an injured shoulder in January. Likely he'll go through the same protocol as any other player would. CJP doesn't strike me as the type of coach who plays favorites so IMO if JJ is on the field and getting playing time it's because he deserves it. Post Lyle Jones manic depressive syndrome is lingering with some of our fans. It clouds the judgement.

Prob take til about Auburn game 10/13 to get him up to speed. We have open date on 10/6, so coaching staff will have that week to give him a lot of individual attention.

That seems to be the ideal game for him to see some action if not the UGA game. Depends on how UT fares in the UF game. I don't know how this coaching staff thinks exactly but they're damn sure not negative about how they approach the games. If it's pressuring a qb that they seek and also thinking about a redshirt then I'd play him against UGA, Auburn, Bama, and USCe. Once he get's rolling I doubt very seriously the red-shirt idea is going to come into play. As far as learning the plays, he'll have 10 teamates to help him adjust. CJP will do the right thing.

He will not be allowed to practice in full pads for 2 weeks I believe per NCAA rules.

I think the rule goes: 2 days with no pads (just helmets), then 2 days in shells, then on the 5th day players can dress out in full pads.

So if he's at practice Monday, by Friday he should be dressed out.

The remaining questions are (a) how fast can he learn the defense, and (b) how long will it take before he starts beating fellow players out for spots in the two-deep/starting spots?

I think if we see him by Florida, that'd be awfully quick. As 2407 said, Auburn seems more likely.

Really doubt there's any effort to red-shirt him. Why worry with red shirts on guys who will only be in college 3 years, anyway?

Awesome. Get him up to speed and let him play the last 4 games and allow him to redshirt.

Ok you guys who know this kid, I hope he can bring some speed and quickly to our defense. I’m counting on your predictions he’s the best ever. We need him to make plays if he is as good as advertised to make 6 wins
