This is not a smart strategic move. With only 46 active players and trying to rest as many as possible, it's not a good idea to take a QB, run him for a series or two, then sit him. He's now occupying an active roster spot that won't play in the game again.

There's no reason for Brees to hit the field. Save that slot for another position so that someone else can get less reps.

add in the fact that the game in Carolina was very chippy, and this one could be much worse. I don't even #9 standing on the sidelines

I never said I was in favor of it, and my bet has nothing to do with smart strategic moves. Some here might argue that Sean Payton on occasion does the exact opposite of that. Remember Taysom Hill's floater into the endzone against Pittsburgh?

When your opponent knows all of the same smart strategies that you do, the only thing that's unexpected is the truly unexpected.

We are talking about the man that went with an onside kick after 1/2 time for the Super Bowl are we not?
