Dungy won't say if he'll rest top Colts

[BAMAPHIN 22]

Tony Dungy treats the mounting questions like he's a politician.

Everyone wants to know how the Indianapolis Colts cope with the pressure of staying perfect one more week. Dungy usually responds with a tactful touch.

But there is one question that makes the Colts' coach groan: Will he continue playing starters if the Colts clinch the AFC South title, a first-round bye and home-field advantage this weekend?

rest them

yes, if i was a colts fan i'd be saying that too, is it worth risking some of your superstars over a record, when you have the SB almost handed to you if you rest the starters???

 

[jnewmant]

he'll start them and let them play a quarter or two so they don't get too out of sync

 

[scenaria]

could you imagine the backlash if he plays the starters and during the game peyton or edg gets hurt?

imagine the heat he would get for that.. assuming they wouldnt get to the superbowl.

I dont think its worth the risk.. I think its better to take the chance at keeping the record with the starters sitting.. cause its still possible.
