I'm sick of all these players resting, and needing a veterans rest day, then when we play against a physical team, we get slapped in the mouth! If you're hurt ok, but if you're a 8 year vet and they're resting you, i'm sorry we don't need this to happen! Please give your thoughts

Why would you rest them? Don't you want them as tired as possible?

They can only practice so much per the CBA. I don't have a problem with limiting old Tyron's reps but I don't know why CeeDee needs rest unless he's hurt.

It’s modern-day sports. Better get used to it. And a lot of teams have won championships with plenty of ‘load management.’

At least we’re not as bad as the NBA yet and ripping fans off on their pricey tickets by not playing the stars several games.

Bear Bryant used to not allow his players water in practice because he felt it made them soft. We’ve come a long way. LOL

That's just sports in the 2020s. Even when players do practice, it's rarely full contact and they're just wearing shells. Todays game does not allow for the old school physical practices. I know the 'soft' narrative gets thrown around a lot, but really MM has gotten slapped on the wrist multiple times now for his practices being too physical, at least in the offseason.

You are channeling Jimmy Johnson circa early 1990's. Shift your frequencies to every NFL head coach in 2023.

You are welcome.

Coaches don’t have a say, that’s all in the CBA.
