I don't want to see a SINGLE STARTER v Cleveland

Don't do anything stupid, rest the players.

 

I don't like that tho. We need to keep our players in rhythm. They need to play at least a little bit I'd keep Ben Bell and AB out in the second half tho, especially if we're up big.

 

I will be at that game as well. I don't care if I don't see any of those guys on the field taking a snap!

 

Score some points, then rest the big 3 on offense

No need to lose rhythm

 

Cleveland got there win for the year ,they are satisfied,jump on them early and they will fold like a cheap suit...

 

Our guys need the reps. They need to play, but not a whole game, and they need to be told no physical stuff. Don't take any hits. The outcome of the game doesn't matter, getting reps does. If a defender is closing in, just go down or go out of bounds.

 

Does a cheap suit fold differently than an expensive one?

 

" obviously "

 

Agreed. No way should Ben or Bell get a hat next week. I'd love to see what Demarcus Ayers can do, especially on kick returns. Next week would be a good week to get D'Angelo back on the field.

 

I'd have a bunch of tailgaters in there against the Browns. Probably still would win.

 

Yes sir, Ayers has got to be better then 33.

 

Looking forward to L. Jones and DA, I thought I saw DHB on sideline, get him ready for playoff

 

I'll be there tailgating with a bunch of other (semi) athletic 40 year olds. As much as I'd like to think that you're right, I'd put my money in the Browns against the guys I'll be with.

 

I'll buy y'all a shot of Jägermeister and I guarantee you can beat them.

 

If you can get me on the field for one play with some Jäger in me, I'll take it. I may need to be John Deere'd off after but it would be worth it.

 

Yes a cheap suit is made with light material and without a lining thus making it easier to fold

 

Thinking we see John Maxey get his first career sack next week.

 

I certainly would not play Big Ben, especially because it looks like he tweaked his knee on the final drive. Plus, he hasn't been playing that great so he won't be losing any rhythm or momentum. I'd maybe play Bell a little, but would prefer him not to. Should get Deangelos legs back for the playoffs. We will probably have to play AB due to all of our WR injuries, but limit him as much as possible.

I will be excited to see some new faces next week. Ayers, Maxey, Matakevich, etc.

 

Unless injured, Ben needs reps. He wasn't good today and he's worse after time off.

I'd sit Bell if for no other reason than to get D Will back into the groove.

Have someone else return punts, but Ben needs to get in sync with AB.

First half max.

 

You can't risk injuries against the Browns in a meaningless game. You just can't. Anyone that's banged up needs a rest. Ben, Brown, Bell - take a seat.

 

Cleveland is dying to see Landry so they can get on a winning streak. LOL!

 

Ben has certainly had a rocky past few weeks.. Him getting into a better rhythm certainly would be nice. But, at the end of the day, it's just not worth the risk. Sure, maybe a few drives would help keep the dust off, best case scenario. Worst case scenario, he gets hurt and our season goes up in flames. I don't believe that gamble is at all worth considering. It's not like we have a first round bye and he'd be getting 2 weeks off. Brown, Bell, Harrison, Timmons, Tuitt, etc should all sit as well.

 

Rest the big 3, #91, #34, #88, #89, #50. Give players like Ayers, McCullers, Justin Gilbert, Mecklinburger a chance to shine...

 

Damned if you do and if you don't.

A team needs rhythm and it needs healthy players.
