The real question is why any starters were in at 38-0

Starters were benched at this point in the fourth quarter. You could have up to four corner backs on the field at one time and if you only keep six active then someone has to play. Don't stir the pot because of the lack of knowledge you have of football.

Once Tillman's back we should be fine with him and Josh and Cortland in the slot. Gonna be 100% honest here, Cortland has played better since we signed him than Bene has at all this year. Love Bene and it sucks he went down especially for our depth but not a huge loss.

Sorry, hit submit too early on an earlier comment, here's the list of 4 CBs we cut earlier this season:

• DeAndre Presley (Free Agent)
• Melvin White (Rams Practice Squad)
• TJ Heath (Falcons Practice Squad)
• Carrington Byndom (Cardinals Practice Squad)

Seriously guys going on about Bene being on the field don't realize his cleats got stuck and his heel hung under him. Nothing that the game being 0-0 or 38-0 changes. It was just an unlucky heel getting caught, then rolling under.

I don't even think you know what you're talking about. Norman and Bene could have been replaced with Finnegan and Williams easily. You could have left off everything after your first sentence

I say go for cary williams because we will need someone with alot of experience when it comes to the playoffs.

You only have 53 players, so someone has to play.  I was thinking the same thing you were, but when I thought about it, you can physically only rest so many players.  In a way, it's kind of a blessing, imagine if it was J-no who got injured and not Bene.

Only 46 active, and that includes the 3 specialists.  So 43 active offenseive / defensive players.  I think we were 22 defense and 21 offense, but I'd need to check.

Finnegan came out for some snaps to get looked at by trainers, and Norman went back in.

Look whose on the field on the play he gets injured. Oh, Finnegan and Williams. Its okay buddy, there's always the one guy who thinks he knows what hes talking about but truly doesn't.

Was Colin Jones active today? And at this point was there even a need to run dime?

And I asked when did it occur, I turned the game off after going up 38-0

Actually I didnt turn it off that way, my sunday ticket had issues the whole 2nd half.

And don't question my fan-hood. I've been riding on the huddle when people thought dwayne jarrett would finally become somewhat productive of atleast a 2nd round pick could be

Didnt know Colin was injured as KB pointed out, but definitely "not enough players carried" is not an excuse cause we have enough back up corners. I'll take my chances with a base 4-3 defense too to keep Bene off the field at that point in the game. That's just me. But what's done is done. Next man up.

If Shaq Thompson would have gotten injured on the play you would have bitched about it too. The playing 3 LBs at that point were AJ Klein, Ben Jacobs and Shaq. Mayo was OUT with a hamstring injury. Just stop.
