Once we know who fits where in the playoff picture (if we know this early enough for it to be an issue,) what's your take on resting starters?
I say no.
1) Keep them game-ready. Maybe give them half a game off in the last game.
2) Build on any momentum.
3) What would we do to "rest up" our always banged-up secondary? We got nothin. And guess what... anybody we don't have much of a second/third string for, gets to play a gruelling game, if our offense can't keep the ball long enough to get them off the field now and again.
Things are close enough this year that the dilemma probably won't affect us for more than a game... but what's everybody's thoughts on the "rest the starters" routine?
