There were also a couple of interesting plays on offense that changed after we got to 35 -- Sproles ran a kickoff out to the 20 and then plopped down to the turf, with no one anywhere near him, before he got plowed into, and Colston slid like a QB after making one catch late in the game. Smart play by the coaches -- spare them the hits and the "remember me" shots and the angry retribution from Dolphin players, once the game is sewn up. You may not be able to pull all the starters, but there's no point in them getting needlessly injured in a game that's already won.

Sproles plopped down because of a lack of blockers... The Hands team was out there in case there was a squib.
