Am I mistaken by saying that they'll (our starters) be more susceptible to injuries because of the fact that opponent's third stringers and beyond will be head hunting while trying to make the 53-Man roster?

I don't think that it's a bad thing to sit front line players for the first two preseason games scrimmages.  There is really no reason to play them.  I imagine that most of them will play some in the third preseason game scrimmage and none of them in the fourth preseason game scrimmage.

It's a new concept and makes sense (at least to me) to keep them healthy and fresh when they play actual games.

Just depends if they are truly going full steam in practice. Soft tissue injuries can happen when you try to go full effort the 1st time. They were building up to 100%, but then stop and stay at 75%, then it could be trouble.

Hopefully the reps in practice, the extra heat, etc has them ready. We have seen a softer training camp and off season, so we won't know if they are truly ready until they get on the field.
