Saints Sunday inactives pool
 

Propose your list. Let's see who's closest on Sunday. Here's mine:

Brees, Cam Jordan, Armstead, Bushrod, D. Davis, Lattimore, Michael Thomas

I don't want to see any of these guys except for being on the sideline in hats.
I still worry about the O-Line. I wish there enough roster spots so that the entire starting O-Line can sit out. But given the circumstances getting Peat more reps at LT along with getting Tom and Clapp into the game will have to suffice. I really wish we had Bushrod back. But with his hamstring he has to be on this list. If he were healthy I'd put Kamara on this list. As it goes, Alvin will be active with a hat on in a box labeled "Only break in case of emergency".

Rest the O line. Bring up practice squad guys if necessary. Give Taysom and Bridgewater some QB time.

Play the starters one series then sit them the rest of the game; let Brees get his 4k passing yards.

Basically agree with this, although, I might pull Brees as soon as he hits 4000. Let the crowd cheer him as he comes off the field and then hide his helmet.

Great question. Here's what I'd hope for.

Healthy starters play 1st quarter. Follow the process all week, prepare and play. Pull them after a series or two.

I agree JP, nothing kills teams in the playoffs more than lack momentum. Granted health can kill you too but ive seen plenty divisional playoff home teams lose cause of lack of momentum.

Re: Saints Sunday inactives pool
 

Agreed - I like the idea of keeping everybody on routine. I'd play the starters, even if just a drive or three, but I do think I'd pull all the starters I could neighborhood of halftime if not before.

Most starters for 1st series, or about 8-10 plays. That keeps the starters in rhythm. Once Brees gets his 8 yards, call timeout and let him walk off the field to a standing ovation.

Do not even think about dressing Armstead.

After about 10 plays, play all subs available. Definitely bench Brees, Kamara, Ingram, Unger, Ramz, Jordan, Rankins, Lattimore, and a few others that may be nursing some minor injuries and the older guys like Watson, Bushrod, Warford, Ginn etc.
