🤔 Rest or Play vs Rams❓- Pregame Thread 2023 Season Wk 18 🐏💥

This is what I put in the other thread

3 weeks off is too much. Play the first half with most guys then call it a day.

This, and then have everyone else play at least a half to avoid the rust.

WININER Approved.

He will play everyone who has zero health issues. I don't expect Mcaffrey much if at all next week. Trent Williams may sit as well. Otherwise everyone else is playing at least half the game.

I can definitely see this happening
Rest the key starters and guys banged up.

This is a vet squad so I trust preparation and effort won't be an issue even with two weeks off.

Personally I'd rather risk rust than risk injury especially on guys that would be devasting to lose.
A couple of series then rest the starters

Dress and rest. Don't change the routine that got you there.
I just really want to get some of the injured guys back.

Sign La'el Collins….start him for Trent

This is the best bet. Don't change the routine too much.

Rest all starters nursing injuries. All healthy starters play one half.

I think this is the correct answer here.
Rams might be resting starters too if Pitt wins today. McVay never plays starters when he doesn't have to.

The problem with resting Trent and even Kittle for that matter is I dont want Purdy back there then. Our pass protection could get too suspect.
