They averaged 364 yards and 28 points per game with him and we're 5-2 in the games he played in. 373 yards, 23 points per game and 6-3 without him. The narrative around obj is pretty interesting. [Reply]

I agree, there's no point in playing him in the 4th when we're up by 3 TDs. Plus, a 17 game season is going to wear down a lot of guys. Run the ball. [Reply]

If we’re up 3 TDs in the 4th, we should be taking most of the starters out. I do like the idea of resting Kelce, even if the game is by one score. [Reply]
I've seen a lot of games lost with a 1 score lead in the 4th. If any of the potential TE2s we have can give us the needed catch to ice the game, groovy, rest 87. A lot of those decisions will be based on how effective the D is at producing 3 and outs and how wll we can run the ball. [Reply]
