Keep up the momentum, we'll be off for a week and we need to go in hungry.

play them the first quarter then sit them....remember what happened in san diego last year?? brees had no reason to be in that game, we dont need same mistake to any of our key players.

maybe we should just throw the ball to henderson on every play and see if he can learn to catch.

I'd definitely go with play them, but give other guys a extra touches. By the second half I'd like to see Brees, Deuce, Bush, and Colston on the sidelines. I want the W though. There's no need to tarnish a good season with a loss.

Great idea!

I also think that they should practice at the Dome all three weeks to help give them a sense that they own the place, not like the last 4 home games.

At most, I'd let Brees, Bush, and Deuce play one series. All the rest of the starters can play the half.
If one of those guys got hurt, it would be devastating not only from a talent stanpoint, but also for morale.

For what my opinion is worth, I'd say play the starters into the 3rd quarter and then sit them down. I sure would hate to have what happened to Indy last year happen to us. Its a fine line though and its different for every team. We can only hope that Sean makes the decision that works best our team.
