Do we rest week 17?

[endersdragon]

Simple question, if we beat the Eagles do we rest everyone in the final game, or do we play them the whole game, or do we play them part of the game (like the first half). I am sort of inclined towards the latter. I think they need to play otherwise they will come out lazy against (most likely) the Seahawks, but I think they do need some rest especially the o-line (and I don't like the idea of putting Dak behind a backup line). What do you guys think>

This team has had one too many weeks off already. As long as they play to win the game I don't care who they rest. So I'm guessing a half to 3 quarters.

 

[mooseq]

Yes

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

I don’t know... maybe rest a few, let a few others play, like how we did last last year. If we win against Philly, we need to gain momentum.

1. It’s not humanly possible to rest most of your players, not even half. You can rest 2-3 super stars and any injured and senior players at best.

2. This team needs to keep playing to win and building momentum. The win means nothing in the standings, but this year it means a great deal fr the team and any playoff run.

Rest the injured; rest Witten, Tyron, Lee, and hosting nagging injuries that could be much better with a week off. Otherwise, you play to win the game. I definitely don’t rest Dak or Zeke, unless Zeke needs it physically. I only rest Cooper if his health will improve.

NO
Only the banged up guys
Everyone else needs to play
They’ve had lots of rest in Chicago, New York and others

Ah, hell no...

I just don't like the idea of Dak and Zeke lining up behind whoever our 3rd tackle is at this point.

Some positions like LB and DB are pretty thin. Anyone who has been limited in practice should be rested.

 

[CWR]

Play to win week 17. If we are good enough to dominate then begin pulling guys.

Do not lose the game. Continue to build positive momentum.

last time we did that...Dak and the young guns squad in '16....we came out flat vs GB and came up short at the end.

Deserves 2!

 

[Idgit]

I’d play to win.

 

[GMO415]

Cobo here we come!

 

[robjay04]

I expect to see us play similar to last years week 17.

Rest Zeke and/or players with injuries and let the rest ball out

No they havent showed under Garrett that they can come off a break and come out playing inspiring football. So let them play until they cant anynore

 

[charron]

Kinda. Rest anyone injured. Play some of the younger guys and see what they can do. Play to win.

 

[Cattle_Rancher]

I might play Dak for a quarter but not much more. I rest Cooper give him fresh legs. EE I don’t know I might would let him play a series or two. Play the O-line as long as you do Dak. I’d rest Witten. Rest Lawrence and Lee. Play Jaylon maybe a quarter or the half. I’d like to see a lot Rush and Pollard see what we have in those two.

 

[Playmaker3128]

I'd say play for a half. Remember last year when we got run over by the rams (coming off a physical game with seattle), i thought we were definitely gassed in the second half of that game. Its a long season, its a grind. Last year we played that entire game and who knows maybe it had some sort of cumulative affect.

I'm all for playing to stay sharp, but their wouldn't be a need to play the entire game.

I think they treat week 17 like a preseason game if they clinch the division on Sunday.
