Should Ratliff and Spencer start when they come back?

If Spencer is ready to go he is an absolute lock as a starter.

We should hope he can get in some part time snaps this week and be ready for a bigger role in week 5, because Dallas will need him. That Denver offense has been unstoppable this season.

Rotation is a situational thing, if you have a average or below average defense you spend a lot of time on the field, so rotation is 60/40 deal between the starter and back-up. However; if you have a elite defense that produces a lot of short series, you can use you starters more like a 80/20 or better. keep your best people on the field as much as possible This scheme allows players to just flat tee off, don't write off our pro bowlers until they give it a try.

They need to enter the rotation and be eased into it. I think the Chiefs game was indicative of Spencer's need to get back into playing shape.

That said, I think Ratliff needs to be in on 3rd downs and sprinkled on 1st and 2nd downs, he can't play every down any longer.

Spencer won't be back.

So many have given up on Rat, and I can understand that, but I guess they've forgotten what kind of player he can be when he's healthy.

How many years ago was that?
