We’re blessed to have depth on the o-line (praise to Stout) but the injury risk extends to them as well, not just Saquon.

We're talking like it's a guarantee, but he's had 5 games this year when he didn't have 100 yards

[@bullydakidd2023]

It's not fear of injuries. It's REST. For years teams who have made the playoffs said having a week off to rest/heal/rejuvenate before playing your first playoff game is big. At this point of season players are banged up, and also mentally fatigue. Taking a week off gives you more time to heal your body, walk away from the physical and mental grind, and start the playoffs with fresh legs. If the Eagles play starters they are sacrificing rest to TRY to get a record, they just might not get. What if the eagles play starters and by half time he has 50 yards? Do you continue to play starters? If you sit starters at halftime, wasn't it all just a waste of time? While the Eagles are playing starters, some other possible opponents are resting starters.

[@Southphillyben]

He’s going to play! And have that record by halftime!

[@MrDufDaddy]

SB is honestly not about records. It's never been his thing. Evidence: earlier in the season when he was only few yards from his career best and told Siriani to let the young guys get theirs. Also, you are not just risking a Saquon injury but all of the starting O-linemen that they will need for a playoff run. As a fan I respect SB and the Eagles for putting a title run above records.

[@Misunderstoodbutimgood]

The record isn’t just for Saquon. it’s for lane Johnson, it’s for Jordan mialata, the rest of the o-line. It’s for Jeff stoutland it’s for all the hard work stout put in his whole career.

[@turtleman5111]

Yeah, just rest Lane. He's like 75 yrs old+ needs a break. 1/2 of the O line has to play anyway.

[@albertotorres_1]

He rushes more on his new team by going over 2k his first time and he has been healthy all games. That’s a win and a chance at the playoffs and SB.

[@highlyillogical9399]

This isn't even debatable anymore. It requires way more things to fall in place to reach the SB than simply breaking a rushing record. Yes, Saquon is having an epic season, and it would be great if he won it, but putting the best RB behind the best OLine is yielding very predictable and repeatable results. There's literally no reason why we couldn't have the same success on the ground next season without changing a single thing. The only thing that could stop us is bad luck, which nobody can plan for or expect.

[@G_I_Grow]

If Hurts should play to get in a rhythm, that means you'd want the offensive starters to play to be there to protect him, right? Then that means Saquon should be playing as long as they are out there too for a chance at the record. I feel if the starters get sat, then ALL of them should sit.

[@kodyjefferson8976]

You have to put yourself in the best possible position to win. If you're gonna play Saquon, are you also gonna play the 1st team offensive line? You cannot put Saquon out there with second stringers. You can't tell a veteran like Lane Johnson he has to play no matter how he's feeling because we want Saquon to get the record. A guy like Lane can really benefit from a week off. Mailata was hurt earlier this year. AJ got hurt late last year and wasn't available for the playoff game against Tampa. They can lose in the first round no matter what but that has nothing to do with putting your team in the best position to win.

For real bro and eagles just benched him 10 minutes ago you can’t make it up !

[@Darius-yi6wg]

@coreywilliam8474 Exactly!! So he doesn't play and they don't win the SB!!! Now what??? We are all entitled to our opinion, but why does it have to be one or the other, hell get the record and win the SB!! Doesn't have to be one or the other man!!

[@bhaines2209]

Best part is the few minutes or so. 100% correct, cannot start slow in the playoffs and have to immediately establish time of possession and score early.

[@izabellaward225]

This will hurt the Team’s chemistry moving forward if they don’t let him go for the Record.

[@bodasactra]

Hell no! They lost AJ in game 18 last years. how did that work out for the playoffs?

[@FivestarFSG]

Any player at any time can get hurt, and the Eagles can't even beat Tampa Bay

[@bjpadill27]

I was watching this video as they announced they’re resting Saquon. I was torn on the issue but I think I’m happy with the decision.

[@michaelheath9012]

If ifs and buts were candies and nuts...

[@ImStep-by-Step]

So play the QB and risk injury?

[@colletteboyce6968]

Frozen face😂😂😂😂

[@jordansmobiledetailing5097]

If I’m Nick. I look at SA and I tell him; you have one quarter to get the record, after that you’re out.

[@realtalk7397]

But wouldn't it be even better he come back next year and does it again cuz we'll have the same o line no one has ever gone over 2k twice

[@bigmoose99]

Either way is fine

[@Snipes877]

Mathematically thet can't sit everyone 53 man roster right?
