If they are not going to play their starters I want our starters to dominate. Their starters dominated us last fall.
Nick Sirianni has not yet given any clues whether the Eagles will play starters. He did play some last year in the first preseason game. Vic Fangio did say he hopes his starting defense plays.
But the Eagles don't have a history of slow starts to the season (10 and 1 last year to start the season) and they played 21 games last year, including the Super Bowl in February, so they are not in the same situation as the Bengals. I probably wouldn't play the starters if I were the Eagles, but I do feel the Bengals starters really need to play.
