How much playing time will HC give our starters against Carolina? I would say no more than a full quarter. You?

Playing Time For Our Starters Against Carolina?
- Thread starter Charlie Rivers
- Start date
Hopefully at least a quarter for the offense. Personally, I'd like to see the second string defense play minutes against the Carolina starters more than I want to see Wake, Suh, Vernon, and Grimes. I'm worried about depth more than whether the starters on D are going to be ready. They'll have three quarters to play next week, so use this game strategically.

Don't think the defense needs as much practice, a quarter should be fine with them. The offense, especially Stills, needs the best part of the half to get their timing down. Would also like to see the OL of Fox, Thomas, Pouncey, Douglas, and James get some time together. I really see that as the starting OL opening day with maybe Albert in their for Fox. Turner is not going to be the guy at RG IMO. He needs to be a backup OT.
I'm thinking a full quarter as well, with only a bit more the following week. I'd rather we err on the side of less reps for both offense and defense. The first few games are not too tough and I don't think a few extra preseason reps are worth the injury risk. Hell if the offense does the same thing as last week, I'd be happy with one drive...and just have to feel bad for Ruckus watching benchwarmers all game.
Dont feel bad. The PBR at pregame and whatever inside the stadium will help me enjoy the backups more.
2 series for each unit is all that's needed. 3 at most.
