Should Cowboys consider resting some stars vs Dolphins

Diehardblues · Sep 16, 2019

Miami looks like they’re headed to an 0-16 season. The line opened at 16 and quickly shot to 21. Totally unheard of in the NFL.

I understand we’ll probably start everyone but if anyone is nursing an injury this would be a great time to rest them and I’d seriously consider resting our starters if the game gets out of hand early.

NO we need to keep fine tuning and let this momentum carry us as the schedule gets more challenging after week 3.

If we’re leading like 30-0 for example we should continue to leave our starters out there with risk for injury ?
Why??

Actually my question was multi facet in opening post.

Maybe we could try and be a bit more disruptive on the D, see if we can game plan that in before we put in the 3rds.

If we are up by 3 TDs in the 4th we can consider it.

Pedal to the metal.

^^^that^^^... IS the only way I rest my starters, period. Its all about the MO...keep it going.

ruthless aggression, keep the foot on the neck. SOMETHING the D hasn't learned just yet it seems.

After two weeks in? Many of the players have not even hit stride yet. Get up big, early and then start subbing guys.

That's completely different than the previous question. I do think that players who are already banged up should take the game off. However, with that being said, I think we should use this as a fine up game like college teams do. If we get up big early, as we should, then sure. Pull the starters as needed.

Not less unless they are up 35-0 at half.

Starters still need time to gel, especially at positions like OL/DL.

Let players like Cooper feast, unless he's covered by Howard, then let the other receivers feast lol.

We took some of our starters out last week when we were up 31-10 against the Giants.

This Miami game could be over before halftime.

And Id consider anyone who’s nursing an injury to rest completely which is probably a short list after 2 games.

That’s all I’m saying. Sounds like some only read the title and not the opening post.

Fair enough. In that case, then yes. That would be a good strategy.

Who says they won't jump out on us? We just need to show up and play hard and if things go our way THEN we decide that. Besides, our D needs some work.

I'm flying out of Connecticut on Friday and paying close to Two grand for this game , airfare, and hotel! If they rest starters I'm gonna flip

not what you asked. If were up 30 then start moving out some of the injury guys like Tyron, Martin, etc

but resting guys just because the Dolphins suck, no
