Re: Mark Brunell will start Sunday for New Orleans Saints; Drew Brees will be third QB
I can see the logic behind it, but I just hate to give up the chance to get some momentum back for the starters. Just seems like a bad way to start what we all hope is a deep playoff run...
The truth is, we will only know whether this was a good decision in hindsight. If the Saints lose the first playoff game, it was the wrong choice, if the Saints go all the way, the move was the right call. |

Re: Mark Brunell will start Sunday for New Orleans Saints; Drew Brees will be third QB
The problem with that is you have to cut 8 players to activate the 8 players on the PS.
Thats why there's so much cut/sign roster shuffling going on outside of the PS now. And if you activate a PS player, he counts against your 53 man roster (and you have to pay him) for 3 weeks. If teams can avoid activating a PS player and simply cut/sign guys on the street, it gives them much more roster flexibility heading into the playoffs. |

I think by not playing the starters a loss won't be as hard to take, almost like it didn't count. Even playing close can possibly be a moral boost. I just hope that during the off week they at least do a walk through or something to keep the rust off.
