While many teams are extra careful with their star players in August, Pederson believes the reps against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday can prove valuable.

“I’m a big believer in the starters playing,” Pederson said in an interview on NFL Network’s “Inside Training Camp LIVE.” “I really feel like they need to feel sort of that energy that comes with starting a football game. I did it last year with the guys.

Good. Might as well see how our potential backups do against the guys they will play against in the real games if they make the team

 

[Hagman]

I anticipate our starters getting some time and playing a series or two.”

So, kinda, sorta, but not really…..

I wonder how he will feel if Lawrence went down?

Hope we see zero starters, maybe not even Cooper Rush.

A gamble that went bad

He won a ring with Wentz going down….he probably doesn’t care lol.

This is what needs to change with Dallas. I know it's a risk to play your starters in the preseason, but these reps are important to preparing your team.

Under McCarthy Dallas has lost every week one game. The Rams in 2020 and TB the last two seasons. These slow starts have to change. I believe playing your starters for a couple a series in the first two games and a half in the last game would only help.

This year? Terrible. Last year? Great since Lawrence did not go down.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Someone hit Sunshine, that always makes me smile.

 

[MonsterD]

Good, bring it against the backups need to see who is ultimately ready for our depth.

 

[glimmerman]

Good let’s see how our second team does. I expect our 2nd string Defense to apply pressure. I wonder if we throw Mazi in.

And I bet this guy is not telling the coaches what to do.

His mirror is too scared to tell him what to do.

Jerry or Shahid?

Shahid. Jones' mirror has been wanting anyone to hit it with a 50-pound dumbbell for nearly 30 years.

If Lawrence goes down Wentz is about the only guy left to call. That would be a disaster, albeit an ironic one.
