Titans may sit starters against Cowboys

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Will Mike Vrabel punt Cowboys game ahead of winner-take-all showdown vs. Jaguars? (msn.com)

if we get up on them a bit, which I expect, we should let our starters rest, like Micah. let him heal.

Yet somehow it'll be a nailbiter with 2 minutes left.

You know it!! It's the Cowboys' way!!

Titans have nothing to play for this week and its a short week. I would not be surprised if the focus on week 17.

If the Titans want to lay down and take the L, I'm good with that.

Most coahes will not do that , can only sit so many players i mean Willis needs the work which means the Ol/wrs must start etc

they might pull them early but i doubt they start the game that way,

IM not, we need resistance to stay sharp.

 

[Creeper]

From what I read he is thinking about resting a bunch of guys nursing injuries. The way the Cowboys have been paying down to their opponents lately, I think this could hurt Dallas.

Resistance my ***. We’ve had plenty of that so far.

keeps a team sharp, now last game i can see us using that as Bye it makes sense but rather get a team's best to keep sharp. We tend to play a little less sharp against teams shorthanded or weak.

.. I do same thing. Save all ammo for last gun fight.

Jerry should buy him his favourite lunch…

it don’t matter.

This team really is battle tested this year imo

However, we’ve been battle tested lately by some teams that won’t be in the playoffs and just got shredded by a backup QB who only had four snaps this season entering Saturday’s game. Would like to see our run defense get tested by Derrick Henry. Our entire defense is a major concern.

I’m going to this game, try to see one a year. Hope to see a good game. Would like to see our starters play as I have been waiting for this since purchasing tickets in May.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Ironically, the game means less to them. I get it. The Cowboys have been there—all those 8-8 years under Garrett.

I would love to see a challenging game but it makes no sense for the Titans to play their starters especially King Henry. This will be like the Philadelphia game last season. I expect a 50 burger. Hopefully the Eagles lose and the Washington game will matter.

If Tennessee doesn’t play their starters and we don’t look real good or somehow lose it’s going to create some real panic amongst Cowboys Nation. This game has some importance for the Cowboys, because they still have an outside chance at the division. I hate these kind of games where you’re playing your starters, but the other team isn’t. It’s almost putting you in a no-win situation. If the Cowboys look great, it was expected because they’re playing against backups but if they look bad or lose it will make everyone seriously question the team.

The Cowboys need to worry about the Cowboy’s offense. That is our strength. We need it to be a well oiled machine heading into the playoffs. Our defense is hanging on by the turnover thread.Tennessee secondary is weak even when healthy. They have a good front 7 and King Henry but they can only win one way. Jacksonville is going to the playoffs.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Yeah they can do this again I will not be sad

The Saints are not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs yet so they may bring their A game against the Eagles who have lost 3 starters now.

Our strength the first half of the season was our defense. We weren’t generating a lot of offense and points and were winning games by bending but not breaking with our defense and our kicker. It’s pretty disheartening how much our defense has fallen off as the season has gone on. Our pass rush was as fierce as I’ve ever seen with the Cowboys and it’s totally vanished. You’re correct our defense is hanging on by forcing turnovers. That’s about the only way we can stop anyone.

They tweaked the defense to shut down the run...Quinn still searching for the defense that can shut down the run and also bring elite pressure on passing downs
