David Newton: Rivera will not rest starters

[frash.exe]

I've seen too many teams take the second half of December off, come back in the divisional series and stink up the joint. I'm okay with this.

[Darth Biscuit]

Yeah keep them playing. If we get a bye that's plenty of rest.

[SportsCrazie4172]

Agree..rarely do teams get the chance to run the gauntlet..

Don't take the foot off their neck..we will go from not winning a game this season to hopefully going undefeated..

Let the media weep into their pillows..

If we are 15-0, there is no way in the world Rivera would rest the starters.  I think the only change we would see is no designed runs for Cam.

After watching that classless asshat Jef Fisher's press conference, I am so glad that we have a class act like Rivera representing our team.

looking at the rest of the schedule, that's enough of a rest in itself. it's like going up against high school teams.

[Inimicus]

I said in another thread that I couldn't see the team captains "accepting" the week off.

These guys are already showing up on days off.  I just don't see them taking their collective foot off of the accelerator.

I'd like to know too.

A few guys I would like to see get some rest.  Stewart and Olsen top my list on offense.  If either of them go down we could be in trouble.  Maybe not a whole game but a half with their backups would allow the bups to get some experience.

He told the media that if anyone thought it was an effort issue with the Rams losing streak.....that they could just kiss his ass.

I support it, but I would like to see CAP or Wegher give stew a breather sometime. 

I think they have yet to grasp the full system. It's my only guess why they don't spell him.

dude's a grade A jackass. i just read that neither him nor the ownership is all that concerned with winning. the rams more liked him because of his experience in coaching a team transitioning from one city to another.

i've always thought he was overrated. he's been coaching for what...over 20 years and has had only a half dozen or so winning seasons and maybe 3 or 4 trips to the playoffs? you can only go so long blaming the FO and personnel. at some point you have to look at the one common denominator...fisher.

We need all the experience and chemistry we can get for Funcchess, the OL and Shaq besides keeping the team on their collective toes.

not to mention we are still having hick-ups with our special team's coverage.
