And they’re not playing the equivalent of 20 games if they come in for a few quarters during the preseason.  Midseason form is a thing.  You get there faster in my opinion by playing some in the preseason.  Some guys in the league played 0 snaps in the preseason and not because they were dealing with injury.  

I think the primary reason guys are held out is because of what I said previously about the risk being greater being on the field with guys that are doing everything they can to make the 53 and get that salary guaranteed.  If the two squads or the league in general would agree to something like 1’s go against 1’s for 1 drive in preseason game 1, 2 drives in game 2 and 2 quarters in game 3, I think it would reduce that risk down the line.  We kinda did that this year except for we did 2 drives in game 1 and I know Lawrence didn’t play in game 2, but don’t recall how many other 1’s didn’t play.  The Falcons ran their 2’s out there against us in game 3 though.

This will be my last back and forth on this who cares topic. Not trying to be rude. The starters get ready by playing a limited amount of snaps in preseason games. The rest is to see which backups will stay and which will be cut. You’re focusing on just the starters instead of the entire team which is why you don’t understand.
