I understand it from both sides theres pros and cons I just don't see how it's gonna alter how they play THAT much. Hell we could do that and come out sloppy anyways, I would rather LaFleur just stick to his guns every year because either way it could be for not. The flaw in the logic is that it's the same risk of injury in those preseason snaps as it would be in game 1. You're just risking it earlier, and forcing an extra 15 snaps on your key players.

{Family Ghost} Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Given that LaFleur and most NFL head coaches these days run their training camps like a country club it makes sense to sit out most starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainmaker90 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Why do people assume not playing our starters led to the NO blowout? Does anyone really believe a drive or two in pre-season woulda changed anything? If they do play and we lose week 1 then what?? Sometimes the team just doesn't have it that day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a combo of things going on. We always stink when playing in Florida in the first month of the season, the game was moved to Jacksonville. Yeah, it is hot and humid in Green Bay in the summer. But it is not nearly as hot and humid as it is in the South. The Saints were a lot better last season than probably anyone thought that they would be. Breesus was retired, they had 30 for 30 at QB, Michael Thomas has every ailment possible, they never had a defense since the bounties were stopped. We also caught a good Jameis week. Jameis is as good as any QB when he is on, but he is very inconsistent, and his lows are not worth the highs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat&Beer Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Come On Jordan Love. Increase your trade value. The battle for backup Edge rushers continues. Enagbare seems to be winning so far. Garvin, Hamilton, Galeai and Jones the other contenders. Probably 5 guys going for 3 spots. Hoping to see a strong performance from Tom. I like Newman/Tom at RG/RT better than Hanson/Newman in the event that Jenkins isn't ready. Sure would be fun to see Doubs and Watson light it up tonight. Battle for #3 RB could be decided tonight. Don't ignore what happens on special teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not assume that it "led" to that result, but I'm deeply suspicious it had an impact. My gut feeling is that playing some in the pre-season is beneficial to week 1 performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With CVL, GVR, and MVS gone in recent years what other 3 letter abbreviated players do we have left? SJC is the only one that comes to mind.

That's why I think the team rests their starters for the 1st 4 games of the season. So it'll be even easier to win the next 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
