Game 2, starters play the first QTR. Game 3, starters play the first half and the first series of the 2nd half. Game 4, starters play a series or two.
With that said, this has not been a traditional preseason. Game 1 was the usual. But game 2 the starters played almost the first half due to their crappy level of play. Game 3, Dalton played only a series, but I think the rest of the starters only played the first half.
So, does Lewis go back to usual with only a series for the starters? Does he go full on conservative and not even play the starters? Does he try to give Dalton a little more work and give him a couple series?
Thoughts? And what would YOU do in this situation?
I doubt we see all the starters they probly sit dalton to not risk anything Maybe the first string OL for a series. Or at least Bodine to get more reps.
Marvin jones needs reps But AJ Probly sits.
On Defense. if they are already maknig the team sit'em unless they havent had many reps yet and let everyone fight for the depth spots. and let the young guys get reps the more reps the better.
