Zero chance we can win 4 straight games without a def line rotation. They wear down like last week. Gaines n Donald played well over 95% of all snaps the last few weeks. Floyd and Miller over 80%. I looked at other playoff teams and no one is close to this. Snead bragged last winter of the 4 def line that they were developing. Hoecht n Copeland are on the roster. Jonah Williams on the PS and Eric Banks was cut and on Detroit's team. We drafted Bobby Brown III in 4th rd 117 overall and also took Earnest Brown in the 5th rd. So, none of these guys can play at the same level as one of our tired starters (come on - no other team does this). That extra little push is the difference for opposing QB's- Jimmy G looked like Rodgers the last 2 drives. Same story for Floyd n Miller. Watched Miller rush the last series and it was pathetic. Floyd looked like a rookie the second half. Frustrated as even if Stafford gets hot (which is our ticket to the trophy)- we can't over come this and our secondary surely can't cover that long with a tired pass rush.

Not substituting players is a McVay trait. We rotate less than any other team at just about every position. There are pluses and minuses to this approach. Our best players are on the field, but they're not always at their best.
