If it's the last few games of the season and we've already clinched the division and a first round bye, I say maybe rest and rotate a few in the 2nd half as long as the game is secure. Maybe bring Flynn in to close or some backups to give them a few reps for experience as some of them may be starting next year or for the sake of trade value. I would not go into any game planning on resting starters. Resting them too much going into the playoffs may create "bye" like symptoms. It might get them off their game and make them rusty. They are used to and conditioned to play every week as starters and as long as the team is performing extremely well, why risk disturbing that formula. If they get a first round bye, the whole team will get to rest. I think this late in the season, with their minds on the playoffs and SB, the starters are going to want to play, not sit on the bench. As other posters have suggested, injuries can occur any time, even in practice, why game plan for them? I say let them play. They are in a good rhythm. Right now I would not do anything to disturb that. Let the Pack keep rolling.</blockquote>
