00:00 NFL season is here, the preseason, and NFL fans might have to wait a little bit before
00:05 they see their starters play.
00:07 Or new days, some don't.
00:08 Right, but we are seeing a lot of backups playing in the postseason, so what are the
00:12 pros and cons?
00:13 Obviously there's the injury factor versus the rest factor, but what do you see for pros
00:20 and cons of starting/resting?
00:22 I see that there's no blueprint.
00:24 You know, Dak Prescott, not going to take a snap in the preseason, right?
00:27 Yeah, he hasn't since 2019.
00:29 Right, and that's one way to do it.
00:31 Guaranteed he's never going to get hurt.
00:33 He's going to take the first snap in week one.
00:35 And then you turn on, I was watching NFL Network, and there's the Chiefs and the Saints playing,
00:40 and there's Patrick Mahomes scrambling up the middle and having to slide the ball to
00:44 hit him.
00:45 Like, what are they doing?
00:46 I think they know what they're doing.
00:47 They won a couple of titles.
00:48 So there's just so many different ways to look at it.
00:52 There's not a blueprint.
00:53 There is no way, unless you want to guarantee not injured, and that's you don't play, and
00:57 that's where fans are like, what are we doing?
00:59 Let's get to the real game.
01:00 Yeah.
01:01 Now, I'm old enough, you're probably not, to remember when the Dallas Cowboys in the
01:06 70s played seven preseason games one year.
01:09 They used to play a game against the college All-Stars, they played the Hall of Fame game,
01:13 and then they had five preseason games.
01:15 Think about it.
01:16 I mean, we were like, what?
01:17 We played half a year, and they only played 14 games back then.
01:21 It was literally half a season.
01:22 So it could be worse.
01:23 How about that?
01:24 Wow, that is crazy.
