So . . . do we rest our starters?

[redskinsfan]

Perhaps a question for a much later time. But I'd seriously consider it seeing people like Trent and Breeland limping off the field, though they came back.

But who wants to get swept by the Cowboys?

And Kirk is 10 yards shy of 4,000.

Just saying.

I got a feeling the starters play the first quarter, maybe to the half.. and then all put on base ball caps.

 

[Stymietee]

Yep..... rest them, but kick their asses with our subs anyway!

Yeah, just like a preseason game. That way, Kirk can get his 4,000 yards . . . and if Morris can rush for about 350 yards, he'll have another 1,000 yard season.

The fact that Kirk has done all this without any running game is truly amazing.

 

[gkekoa]

I would rest those who are gimpy...Trent Williams for sure, perhaps Garçon.

 

[Buffalo_Nickel_1]

rest them all

this made me spit out my coffee, lol

I'd rest DeSean, Garçon, Trent, Breeland, and pull Kirk at the half. Not sure I even want Kirk out there at all if Trent isn't.

It will be nice to get Lich back for the playoffs.

 

[deanpet21]

absolutely you rest the starters. the game doesn't mean anything .Why take an unnecessary injury?

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

. . and if Morris can rush for about 350 yards, he'll have another 1,000 yard season..

Upvoted for this line alone.

 

[skinsdad62]

you play KC to keep him sharp for awhile then put in colt . reed should sit , garcon should sit as should jax , jones should sit . on defense sit breeland play robinson and riley sit pot roast and kerrigan

 

[j_y19]

I would treat it as a preseason game. Give your starters some work for maybe a quarter. Any starter that has a nagging injury sits.

 

[deanpet21]

Why risk it? that makes no sense to me.

you want some people to keep sharp

 

[redskinsfan]

you want some people to keep sharp

Yep, worth the risk. Play it like the third preseason game. Vanilla stuff, keep sharp, and then let the others take over.

Having said that, I'd hate to get swept by the Cowboys.

it doesnt matter look at it this way dallas gets a worse pick

 

[gkekoa]

Dad...we haven't agreed on a lot this season but I agree with this thread.

 

[deanpet21]

so an qtr or half will keep them sharp? Bullshit. What if something stupid happens? We can not afford another injury to our team. Playing with fire if you ask me. Whn guys were getting hurt at the end of the Eagles game, I wasn't anyone nervous? What about when Tent limped off? This team needs the rest. We are fortunate to get a bye now use it properly.

a williams you could sit a reed you could sit a djax you could sit it isnt either /or . gruden will evaluate the teams health ETC and he will go from there

 

[deanpet21]

so why play KC if you are going to sit all of his weapons and his protectors? Their would be a greater chance that he will get hurt. Right? No starters should play at all.
