With 3 weeks remaining and playoff seeding all but locked up for us, now is a good time to lessen the load on some and give other backup and youth reps to get better.

Mike Neal can use as many game snaps as he can handle to get up to full force. So put him in at one of the DE spots, and leave him on the field as much as possible. He needs to work on his technique and no better time to do it, than against real game time defenses.

Take Raji,Pickett,Green and use them in a 3 man rotation at NT. It will keep them prepared for games, while limiting their snaps as much as possible, so they will be a little fresher for the playoffs.

Than use Wynn and Wilson on the opposite DE spot and to spell Neal when needed.

We are actually pretty healthy on the Dline so we mine as well use that. We can improve, rest and play to win all at the same time.

Sounds fine to me. They've already scaled Raji back, and from what I've read, the results are considered to be positive.

McCarthy has a cance to handle this well.

Work hard, get a good lead, get a rest.

The substitutes have a chance to prove how good they are and will play with enthusiasm.

It is all positive. I doubt anyone will be dogging it.

i dont see this happening, i dont know how smart it would be to overwork neal either because of his past.

ps its "might as well", not "mine as well."
