as I said earlier 'speed' was the one thing I felt good about from our LB's... hence my surprise that they 'appeared' to not be.... but like you said... I think that's experience. - JamesJm

Yeah they are not tuned in yet, just as Goff and Woods are not in sync yet. Heck for example Easley has barely practiced at LB and that's in his career.

But it answers the question, will withholding the starters in the preseason cause the team to be rusty, or not?

The simple answer is...they don't care about rust.
