Every year around this time the debate rages of whether the preseason should be shortened or eliminated altogether. I am a fan of the New York Giants, and as many of you probably know they were decimated by injuries last night. I am NOT a fan of cutting down the preseason games. I do believe that it is unnessasary to get star, or important players hurt in the preseason.
I do not understand peoples gripes over players getting hurt in preseason. Is it not the teams choice to play their starters? Some important players are held out of preseason games altogether (Ladanian Tomlinson). Every team could do this if they wanted to, they are not forced to play their starters. The preseason is for players that are trying to make the team, so as an NFL team why would you play anybody other than these players. My point is that next time a player on your favorite team gets hurt, before you blame the NFL for having to long of a preseason blame your team for playing your starters.
I would like to add that Im not sure if their is a limit on how many players are allowed on preseason rosters. I know cutdowns are to be made by August 28 down to 75. If their is a limit I would suggest getting rid of it so teams could have more players and be able to keep more depth so they have the choice to sit their starters altogether.
