Well, it's halftime, and the Jets are up 27-0. So after all the talk of the Bengals potentially resting their starters, what do you guys think of resting Sanchez and some other key guys to prevent against injury, and to prevent against showing them even more of our playbook? Of course, with the momentum they've got going, you don't want to slow that down heading into next week. What would you do if you were Rex?
I think it's still too early. Try to come out in the 3rd quarter and completely put them away (scoring 10-14 more points) and then you can consider resting people.
Too early yet. If we get up by thirty mid third maybe. If we are up twenty in the mid fourth then sure but right now it's too early to risk it
i think we'll see mostly runs in the second half, the starters will stay in doubt any defensive guys will come out but who knows i'd love to see some o-line guys come out but they aren't exactly deep on either line
I think Sanchez will stay in the game, but hand off to Danny Woodhead a LOT Ellis probably won't play the 2nd half, he was injured throughout the week, and sick
Keep em in, good seasoning for what it will be like in the playoffs... there is a tough road a head , men
I agree, still too early. I want to see Chad "Johnson" play next week. Let Revis play as long as he's on the field.
halfway through the 4th quarter I could see sanchez coming out but I dont know if they want him too. Gotta keep our kid confident.
I don't see how you could argue if Ryan takes the majority of his starters out for the 2nd half. The Bengals are clearly interested in nothing more than getting on the team plane back to Cincy right now...the game is over - pull the starters. -dc
Crush their will. Keep pouring it on and gain momentum for next week. Keep them in, maybe pull Ellis to let him rest his knee but everyone else stays.
