Question of the Day - 08/29

[sb41champs]

Taking all of the following in to consideration: new front office - new coaching staff - new offensive & defensive schemes - AND - half of the players on the 75-man roster are new to Indy:

How long do you think the "starters" SHOULD PLAY on Thursday night ??

[JoKeR]

Half, the 2nd half, lol.

[stonehart1234]

First 3 drives.

[StewieG]

Honestly I wouldn't care if they didn't play at all. But they will probably get a few series, so maybe the first quarter (if that)

[GoColtsGo5150]

None at all, we can't afford injuries to starters and we need to evaluate those who might get cut

[HtownColt]

being that Andy Dalton said his starters are playing one series, 2 series max. i expect our starters to play that long as well

[TKnight24]

3-4 Drives just cause we have a Rookie QB

Wayne & all the Other Vets: 1 Drive if any. Most vets don't play

[HtownColt]

here is Pagano's answer:

"Monday, coach Chuck Pagano said Luck and the No. 1 offense would play a series or two in the final preseason game. Tuesday, he made it clear playing time would be weighed against the risk of injury."

[Krusty]

I think they should be fine with a couple series up to a quarter or so. I mean they're football players, and if we expect them to play a 16 game season they should be able to play a quarter here or there. I know flukes happen but they could happen any time - it's important to get as much practice as we safely can before the season starts.

[shakedownstreet]

one series if somewhat successful, possibly a second if they go three & out

[mystrymaster]

2 series at least and maybe at most depending on the length of the drivers.

[NewColtsFan]

Roughly 2-3 series. What amounts to 1 quarter. Then, pull the starters, go with the 2nd string for quarters 2 and 3...

And the rest in the 4th quarter...

[BNS]

I'll go with Pagano's plan.

[JustAColtsFan]

1st quarter would be fine with me. Jimmy tweeted that the ROOF and WINDOW will be open tonight WOO HOO! The real season is almost here!! GO COLTS

[PrincetonTiger]

Not much

[HungarianColtsFan]

first quarter, not more...

We shouldn't risk injury...and Pagano won't risk it.

[B-B]

Until they can score a touchdown, then off the field they go
