Beat them up in the first half, and look to rest starters in the 2nd.

Unless it's an absolute blowout like in TB, you won't see anyone resting until the last 5 minutes or so.  Even if it is a massive blowout, the regulars likely won't come out until we're into the 4th.
 

I think you avoid playing anyone who's questionable that may exacerbate an injury (Torrey, Gorrer, any others).  That's as far as I'd take the "this is in the bag so let's just get healthy" mindset.

If Torrey isn't close to 100% Im resting him. Maybe Forsett too.

The OP was a bit of hyperbole, but I think this game could get out of hand quickly. At-least that is the goal. Playing a terrible team, you just want to deliver the early KO and not let them think they have a chance. 

It's true though, that even if that happens, that you will only rest a couple of guys, and they don't figure to get much of a rest regardless.

That said, for anyone that is hurting, or any vets you can give a break at all... any snaps off is a good thing.

Tend to agree with bnickle about Torrey, and Forsett. You should be able to win without them.

Yep...I probably play Forsett for some time, especially since LT got hurt yesterday and is day to day.

But Torrey shouldn't see the field...no reason for it.

We've got plenty of weapons to use without having to risk Torrey... Aiken, Brown, Campanaro (if healthy) should be getting plenty of reps against Jacksonville. Hell, even Jacoby has made a couple big catches of late.

Anyone interested in a pair of tickets (505 Row 27) go ahead and PM me. I would like some money, but I'm not looking to break the bank.

Torrey inactive even though Hensley had reported earlier that he looked good in warmups. I think they just want him 100% for next week. I like the decision. If we cant beat JAC without him we suck.

He's active according to Baltimore Ravens.com.

Backup running back Lorenzo Taliaferro is out with a foot injury. The other inactives are wide receiver Michael Campanaro, cornerback Antoine Cason, linebacker Arthur Brown, defensive linemen DeAngelo Tyson and Terrence Cody, and offensive lineman Gino Gradkowski.

This says he's playing.

[bnickle]

Somewhere on ESPN they had him listed as inactive.

Look at all the empty seats...

Jags stopped within the 15 on the return.

[DJ MC]

Getting tackled by your own guy on the return is such a Jaguars move.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Brooks was hurt on the KR. That doesn't look good...

 

Damn, was hoping to see him get more time in these last few weeks.

About 90% of the people I know on Facebook are at this game, and most of them aren't known for having, you know, money. So I'm thinking this was a popular one on StubHub.

[Bmore Irish]

Man, Brooks had to be carried off.
