dsciambi Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/colts_to_rest_starters_for INDIANAPOLIS—At his weekly press conference Monday, Colts head coach Jim Caldwell announced that he will rest key starters during the divisional round of the AFC playoffs to keep his players fresh for a Super Bowl run. "You can't win the Super Bowl if you don't get there with all your players healthy," said Caldwell, who added that next Saturday quarterback Peyton Manning would probably get the first two series, which will mostly be comprised of running plays. "Dwight [Freeney] and Dallas [Clark] will get about a quarter in the AFC Championship game. But honestly, even if we make it to the Super Bowl, I can't see playing these guys the whole game. The 2010 season is closer than you think." Throughout the entire press conference Manning could be seen in full uniform, stalking and pacing in the back of the room. I think it's a great idea. They may not even want to play the starters in the Super Bowl in order to rest them for the run next year. Don't wanna end up with a Welker on your hands.
