Starters playing time on Thursday...

My first knee jerk (no pun intended after the Teddy B discussion) reaction is sit them all, but I wonder if that is really the prudent thing. As I've mentioned in other posts, I really don't give too much credence to the Pre-Season and I really think it is a function of getting guys on tape and seeing certain things in certain situations so the coaches know which way to go. Obviously this is the last opportunity for guys to get a chance to show what they have before cuts, so that is a relevant consideration for this, the 4th and last PS game; but I think it really comes down to the question marks the coaches have for certain "sets" on both the Offense and Defense before the season starts. My guess is they are going into this game with the OC and DC wanting to get one more look at one or two more things to see if "corrections" have been made that they have worked on since the last debacle.  Then get the reserves in as soon as possible and let them have a chance to prove themselves.  I'm sure many of the cuts have already been decided, but I'll bet those last 8-12 are pretty tough calls. 

It's only rational to be concerned about more injuries given what we have already experienced, but that really is no way to play football.

The Teddy Bridgewater thing is just sad.  I know it's a Division rival, but we all know that he may never be the same given his now limited mobility.  I don't care what color a guys laundry is, I never want to see a young kid like that with so much promise suffer such a severe injury.  The same can be said for Shaw, getting a second chance here in Chicago and doing well only to have that happen.  It just sucks.
