If the #3 seed is not in play next weekend, then after Lamar Miller, the most obvious to rest and protect starts with Clowney. Probably Mercilus, too. Another defensive shutdown is the best way to advance in the next round of the playoffs. Corners have been beat up too... Hated to see Bouye go down last night, even if it just meant missing one play.
Protecting Savage would be nice as well... starting to wonder how fragile he might be. But game reps are needed. To paraphrase the owner talking about Osweiler, it's kinda like Savage's rookie season here.
