I get the smart playing and caution, but I'd also think we'd want players who treat every second on a football field as "meaningful" regardless of the status of the game. Is he going to take plays off during the pre-season? When we are getting blown out? When we are out of the playoff hunt? Etc.
I'm pretty sure he won't, but I just want to point out that we are talking a lot about how pre-season doesn't matter while other teams are playing guys who have spent a lot more time on the field lately than some of our key players.
