Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4351425, member: 5798"] [B]Great question![/B] As I'm sure you know, there are many reasons why in any particular game, certain players will get minutes while others don't. Some of the reasons we (fans) may every become aware of. Small temporary injury(s), illness, not earning any minutes (consideration) during the last few practices, Geno wanting to see the starting unit or the 6th and 7th man get more time together. Before he becomes concerned about the bench players, he must be satisfied with the play of his starting unit. There will be games when it becomes apparent that a starter just does not have it. How long Geno leaves them in will vary from game to game and opponent to opponent. We have a short roster this year with no projects. I'm of the opinion that ALL 11 players can and should play. Geno should not have any hesitation in putting any one on THIS year's team in. That includes the newbies. There will be games when 1-2 players may not be available thus shortening Geno's bench and his options. Everyone wants to play and is eager to show Geno (and their teammates) they deserve to play. Unless someone manages to find their way into Geno's Dawg House, I look for everyone to get as much playing time as the game, score and opposition allows. [/QUOTE]
