Biggest issue right now is who do we play against the Rams? We already know that Kyle does not lie down for the last game when we already have the #1 seed, because then, it takes some of the mustard off the D as well as the O. And Rams need a W so they will bring their best game. You can bet the farm that kyle is not letting Rams run roughshod over us just because we have #1 locked up.
So who do we sit and who do we play? Since we have some thing like 12-15 pro bowlers or at least those who have played like pro bowlers, which included #71, #85, 11, 13, 23 15 , 19, #7 , Freddie, Dre, Nick, Chase , gravedigger, Arik, another OL, and another DL plus one more DB.
It woud be nice to rest all those guys. BUT….we can't do that. Just too many studs. So, Using the above list, sit any body with injury, so right off, #71 and #23. Also maybe a half or perhaps 3 qtrs for Brock. Arik should be on the list. Then do a medical check of who is nicked and give them the game off .Point is we still have to come up with a team that can beat the Rams. If we lose, as long as nobody gets hurt, i'm fine wiht that.
I would hate to see a guy playing who if injured, really hurts our chances of winning the SB. So for guys like CMC and big Trent, they could be kept out of next week, then bye week, which runs up til game 3 weeks from now. That is a good long rest for anything except high ankle or actual ligament or cartilage damage. Brock, i would play maybe a Half or less. Just no heroics.
and yes i am glad Brock didn't win the MVP. It would just give him one more thing he has to live up to and I would be fine if he ended up SB MVP. That would end up being just about perfect.
