Dak rests. Eye gets ten carries, sorry, no record.

Get healthy and these guys can have three weeks to mend.

Only rest the guys who are banged up beyond a scratch or bruise. Pulled muscles, bad backs and aching bones........sit down :cool:

As for the rest, play and work on those errors/penalties.

I rest nobody on Monday. This is a young team and every game is added experience.

Besides, We got depth at RB and QB...not to say I want to test it but there it is, just in case. You can't rest rookies and other young players for a month before they play a divisional round playoff.

I would say you could rest them in the 2nd half of the Eagle game.

I can't see Zeke getting too many carries the next couple weeks. We'll put everyone out there on Monday but depending on how it goes, most starters could finish the game on the bench. I think we'll treat week 17 like an extra bye. At least I hope they do.

Guys nursing injuries some I would sit and some I would limit the snaps. D Law was a maybe this Monday now I would not play him.

The only guy I don't want to rest is Dak, maybe take the 2nd half off vs the Eagles. Zeke needs to play but limited carries.

we need to stay sharpe and try to win against the lions. now against the eagles just rest all starters that we can. we need to give Elliott a break now and limit him to no more then 15 carries. mcfaddon and morris need to earn there money the last two games. if we can rest smith I hope they can. to bad green is a waste of a tackle he could play the last two games. the defensive line needs to get healthy for the playoffs now. also rest lee he is the heart of the defense.

No one.

I think it would be a mistake to take our foot off the gas.

We'll have a bye week when the season is done.

That's hard enough to overcome.

I tend to agree. You don't want to get guys hurt, but you cannot realistically play your playoff opener coming off a three-week break. Might as well start planning for the offseason if that's the approach.
