Resting?

If we need to rest some players to get them healthy when do we do that?
My thinking is we need to win 4 of 5 to get into the playoffs as #5 seed and 3 of 5 to just get in. So do we rest guys like Sanders, Bethea, Brackett, maybe Addai against teams like Cleveland, Cincy, or the Minor league team AKA Detroit. This would be to make sure they are healthy.

Or should we just play who we can play, and deal with it.

I don't think you can do it until you clinch

even the awful teams can surprise teams. The Browns beat the Giants and the Bengals took them to OT.

Ok

I see what you are saying, but what about if they are close to going in (you know that whole if it were the playoffs). Would you sit them out knowing that you are playing the next 3 against weaker teams, I personally would rather see Sanders sit the next 3 then come back for either Jags or Titans.

their positioning gives them a bit of a luxury

they don’t have to push guys back onto the field.

With Sanders he’s had this problem before (2006) and they had to just rest him until the knee stopped swelling up every time he played/practiced. They are going to have to sit him until he can practice on the knee. Hopefully that’s soon.
