Who do we sit this week ?

:everyone.gif:

I'm going over to Airline and volunteer my time to get the OL another fill in. All of those boys need a rest.

i think its pretty evident they will play the 3rd string exclusively to the extent they can and sit all starters.

maybe half the 2nd stringers will have to play as well but this will be a "whoever didnt get to play in a game this year, get out there"

Nope...get anzalone out of there, guy has stayed healthy all season for the first time in his life. Let’s not tempt fate

Can we get the Panthers to agree to a 7 on 7 game because if we rest the starters, we may not be able to field a team at certain positions.

It's a 53 man roster. Take out the kicker, punter, and long snapper and that's 50. 11 on offense and 11 on defense and it BARELY goes past 2 deep at a couple of positions.

Hell Oline doesn't even go 2 deep. I expect given the injuries we may try to shuffle a spot or two just to try to get one or two more Olinemen on the 53 (maybe cut Loewen and Carr and send them to the PS).

Only maybe 10 or so guys sit for the whole game. That's Brees, Thomas, Kamara, Ingram, Armstead, Ramczyk, Jordan, Rankins, Davis, Lattimore, M. Williams, and maybe a couple of more depending on roster moves (you'd like to sit Peat, Unger, and Warford if possible but they'll likely have to rotate at least two of them). Someone like Ginn they may want to give a few snaps to.

And you only have 7 inactives, so I expect that to be the extremely obvious guys that will definitely not play, so Brees, Thomas, Kamara, Armstead, Jordan, Davis (or maybe Lattimore or Rankins), and maybe Ramczyk depending on if we get someone in at OT.

Even though you want to give your backups most of the snaps, you don't want to overdo it with them either, so you'll see a little rotation.

Honestly I'd like to see maybe a short term disabled list, with the ability to use someone of the same position group from your PS as long as the guy on the 53 remains on the disabled list (and of course the guy from the PS would get the standard vet minimum game check for each game he is used in this way).

That's if there is too much resistance on expanding roster size. It's the owners' call and it'll cost them more money, so any increase to roster size will be met with at least some resistance.

The obvious answer would be to increase roster size but I'm not expecting that to fly cleanly.

No way. CSP is gonna make him pay for that interception and run him ragged

I'm thinking maybe we should cross train all our backup OL and DL and have them play both ways. Give them a Christmas bonus or something. j/k. Our whole OL really does need to rest.
