How many years in a row have we seen star players not being sharp in the beginning of the season? How many times do we need to see a starting OL come out and look like they all just met each other for the first time, in the parking lot before the game?

I don't see anyone claiming they need to be ran until fatigued and susceptible to injury, just that they need some live action to knock the dust off and build some cohesion along the OL.

I agree, no one is saying have them play 3 quarters in any preseason game. But the reality is they have 5 weeks to get ready to play 4 quarters. As for the OL, I would play them in the first half. The starters at least 1 quarter, then sub in the guards that backup the starters for last 7 or 8 miutes of quarter 2.

They need the time together with full pads going against another team's DL.

We may have an injury if they play, we may have an injury in practice or in week 1. Injuries happen in the NFL and why depth is also huge.
