I updated it for you, thanks! 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t be shocked if we don’t see any starters play during the preseason. And even the 2nd string/ rotational players may not seem much action. Taking a lesson from the Rams’ approach. Big fan of this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing to do that when you're the Rams and have several veterans playing in the same system for a couple of years...this is a brand new system for all of these players. I'd much rather see the first string get a few series in the preseason, at least in the first 2 games. I know people talk about the risk of getting hurt...sure, there's a risk, but I've thought for many years now that starters have been playing less in the preseason, the first quarter of the season is filled with lots of garbage play. I'm fine with seeing garbage play during the preseason, but not once they count. Maybe the Vikings can get away with that and win games playing like garbage like the Rams have over the past several years early in the season (who haven't had to play many divisional opponents in that time, whereas the Vikings have them 2 out of the first 3 weeks), but I don't want to hedge my bets on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll back track a bit and say I do believe the starters/backup should see some time. Always a fine line with preseason reps now with the reduction to 3 games.

swede700 Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) Of note: Chris Reed is listed as backup LG, while Ed Ingram is the backup RG. Starting DEs, as expected are Tomlinson and Watts, with Phillips as the starting NT. ISM is the PR and Nwangwu is the KR Edited August 10, 2022 by swede700 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 It's a distinct possibility that, due to his illness, Cousins won't play on Sunday...and I'm fine with that. While I'd prefer that he get a series in, if you're going to be ill, this is the time for it to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
