It takes 3-4 games to get used to the rigors of the NFL and playing a full game of football.
Not playing pre-season does not allow players to adjust to the "physical" part of the game.
No worries..........They will be in the huddle come Sunday.
I hear ya, oldschool.
But Matthews is no spring chicken. IOW, back spasms on an older player are of a bit more concern than on a rookie. Matthews is probably gonna be okay, but reducing his snaps might be a prudent decision. Matthews did have a quiet game other than that gimme sack, after all. It’s not as if we have no promising youngsters just chomping at the bit to get some snaps there outside.
