it's nice for the players to feel that way but the coaches job is to protect the players including from themselves. A player like Tyrion Smith absolutely needs the week off.

Damn right, Zeke.

But you're scaring the crap out of your head coach talking that way.

Damn right, Zeke.

But you're scaring the crap out of your head coach talking that way.

“Aww geez guys”

Garrett's approach in 2016 obviously left a mark.

 

[J12B]

Zeke, take the week off. You deserve it

It still pisses me off and I would have fired him the next day.

As an aside, in your face. We're division champs.

Zeke wants to play but it shouldn’t be his decision as he and the rest of the players should sit..not only to avoid risk of more/further injury but all of the players especially Zeke could benefit of having a bye week

A week off is something players earn by showing they are clicking and things are running like a well oiled machine. No one on this team deserves a Sunday off. There will be plenty of those when the offseason hit and, if they don't get it together real quick, that will be early in January.

Only the injured sit. Can't believe anyone wants to rest players with Garrett's record after a week off. And this offense still needs the practice.

With the way they played today they should be simulating another game tomorrow. That was crap.

It won’t be Zekes decision. It will be Jerry’s.

We're going to have to put up with this stuff all week. They want to do it again. Even after living through it and having it eliminate you from the playoffs as the damn 1 seed. They just can't help themselves. They're scared.

So you rather a player risk injury in a meaningless game? Plus Zeke is already banged up

Garrett should pretend that this is week 17 last year and repeat it.

 

[Teague31]

Tyron and Zack should sit.

Deserves? They won the division without having to worry about playing for anything the last week, they have earned the right to sit..especially to avoid injury

 

[Thomas82]

I agree with Zeke.

 

[Hardline]

Zeke is 100%correct
If I'm calling plays he gets 25-30 carries I don't care if he comes off the field with his tongue dragging.
