Do we rest the wounded to heal this week?

Speaking of, why in the world did we have ARE returning punts with a bad hammy? I mean, I know he's our best PR, but that's when he's healthy. Aren't ya just asking to aggravate that injury?

Call me crazy but i think this coddling of our players is what is leading to injuries...we didn't want to risk losing them for the regular season so we didn't play them in the preseason (Outcome: a truckload of pulled groins and hamstrings b/c they weren't/aren't in condition)...we didn't want them to "aggravate" their injuries and lose them for the rest of the season so we gave them the bye week off (Outcome: more hamstring and groin pulls symptomatic of tightening due to the layoff).

They are pro athletes and at some point we gotta stop holding their hands and let the players play. If they get hurt we have to deal with it and move on, but its a lose-lose situation if we get tentative. It messes with continuity and chemistry!
