It's a logical move to try to avoid injuries in a game that is going to mean nothing. NFL players have a lot more on the line then a regular football player with a very small window of opportunity that can slam shut at any moment I can't blame an established starter for not putting his body in danger.There's no excuse for lack of effort if it actually meant something. The Bengals didn't lose their playoff game last year because of a lack of effort but because of an increase in injuries.
Meh, practice like you play.....but I saw guys standing around in the second half.....supposedly fighting for a roster spot.....looked like a typical Marvin Lewis primetime fiasco to me. Maybe I was already pissed off and didn't see what I thought I saw......
.....and BTW, guys not getting after it up front could lead to injuries to skill players behind them.....preseason or not. If they're not gonna hustle, then why play them at all?
