I think they need at least a quarter maybe even a half to get the timing down and rust off. I don't care if they will be going up against scrubs. It's about timing.
 
id say a possesion or two, depending on how we look on our first possesion. you want them to end feeling like they got momentum going into the season

Yeah, that sounds about right. Especially if the conditions are really bad - you don't want a starter to go down in a meaningless slopfest.
 
I think you will see it played out a little bit like the first game. Daunte will see about 3-5 plays, maybe a series, probably while the rest will get a series or two.
 
I hope they see no play, I don't see much of a point apart from the opportunity to excel in the running game on their poor run defense to give the offense confidence.

I would rather they have a 2 week break from competitive games and give them a freshness for the first game.
 
I would guess that it will be one or two posessions. If our first team offense marches down the field and scores right away, you will probably see them on the sideline for the rest of the game.
 
the following players should be in street clothes: cpepp,cc,ronnie,mcmike,jt,zack,crowder,carter,

They get a possesion or two

You dont want them hurt but you also want them to have some play before the opener, maybe score a TD together

Its called momentum
 
People who don't want to see players play in the preseason are asking for the team to struggle at the start of the season. I've seen it time and time again. Guys not getting reps in preseason struggling at the start of the season with timing etc.

i think thats a bunch of crap,
these guys are ready to play now, risking injury just isnt worth it!!!
 
I'd like to see Ronnie on one drive and Culpepper in a few plays. As long as Daunte actually throws the ball, I hate when starting QB's just hand off during the preseason.

we'll have the bye in week 8 so we should rest them all up, avoid stupid injuries and start the year Vs. steelers the best way we can. Injuries come when u play not 100%, when u care for injuries and don't play hard enough, the other guys will go hard on u and that sucks.
