Let more players show their wares

One way or another I would like to see more players who dont play much play. I am talking about a couple of lnbkrs who have played some and could get some series. Is Wisnewski getting much time at TE with Kittle hurt?

Gair and some other safeties. The Paulsen twins get a few reps.

If the hawks get behind big early I would rather see some of these players against Mich first team rather than late in the 4th qtr like KF likes to do.

As many coaches say a football game is decided by 6-8 big plays a game. So if Mends is just barely behind Bower in practice but has better physical skills to maybe make one of those game changing plays then Mends needs to be getting 20 snaps a game. This keeps the starters fresh also. It is crazy not to give these players a chance when you are at a 5-4.
 
I had no idea Gair would get that much PT but kudos to him and for hanging in to his senior year. And Rugumba got the start and played very well and his finger tip pass break up was one of those big plays.

Who else were some players who got significant playing time? Oh yes Falconer looks the part.
