Should the Texans rest their starters against the Titans?

    Let's be honest here folks the season was over when Randy blew that FG against the colts.

    The texans have nothing to play for next week in terms of wins. In fact they could lose a LOT if they play the starters.

    Jonathan Joseph already left today's game with a mysterious foot injury. Why risk anything serious happening to JJ, Andre or even Deandre. A torn ACL to any of these players would carry into next season and would devastate the chances for a bounce back season.

    Also it seems that St. Louis may be in running for the #1 pick as well. I don't think they are a lock to pick a non QB, Bradford may not be the franchise QB they envisioned him to be. They might just trade the pick to a desperate team like the Jags and then screw the Texans.

    I really hope they at-least sit Andre and Watt. Because god knows if JJ gets injured next week McNair will be in some serious ****.

    Most players are "resting" right now. Or at least that is the way it looks.

    If the Texans rest their starters in a forest, do their fans make a sound?

    Usually when you are resting your players, you are getting ready for the playoffs. This is the last game until September.

    Is Keenum scheduled to play next Sunday? If so, we should not have anything to worry about. Guess i could say the same about Schaub and the way he performed this afternon. Plus, playing in Tennessee should give them the edge regardless of their own shortcomings.

    I figure they have some incentives they can still reach for bonuses

    We should rest anyone who gives us any chance to win this game. So JJ, Andre, and Shane, good work this year, get a head start on vacation.

    Actually Andre has been dropping passes in full tank mode so maybe let him play.

    Players like Watt, Johnson and Lechler will have a job anywhere they go lol.

    Players like Dennis Johnson should play.

    I think we should let the offensive unit play defense and let the defensive unit play offense the entire game.

    In the interest of fighting for the number one pick, yes.
