[QUOTE="sschind, post: 672836, member: 10247"] I think the notion that the reason Abby was still in the game was so they could see if he can stay healthy is silly. His ability to play is dependent on him being healthy now and not can he stay healthy in the future. You give guys more reps to help them work back from an injury or to "knock the rust off" or you give them more reps because they simply need them to get up to speed. You don't give them more reps to see if they get injured or not. Its not like McCarthy is going to say "I''d like to put Abby in there, he's a great WR but I'm just not sure if he can stay healthy. I wish I would have given him more reps in the preseason to see if he can stay healthy" If he is healthy and he knows his stuff he will play. Besides, I'm not sure what a player staying healthy through the preseason has to do with whether or not he will stay healthy during the regular season. Perhaps when considering 2 equal players and deciding which one will make the team and which one will be cut the injury issue factors in but but I don't think a player being able to stay healthy for an extra half a game is going to sway anyone's opinion. I think the reason Abby was still in the game that late was because we had 5 other WRs already out of the game and he still needs the reps. Its that simple. I don't think it is any indicator of how close he is to making the team or getting cut. [/QUOTE]
