Megan Manfull on playing time vs. New Orleans:
Quote:
When Kubiak talked after practice, he gave a rough idea of how long certain players will be in during Saturday's game. Matt Schaub and the first-team offense will play about a quarter and a half. Chris Brown will run with that group, though they may pull him sooner than the other starters depending on how solid he's looking. His conditioning is somewhat of a concern. And of course they are simply worried about his durability. They would like to see him go at least one quarter though.
Sage Rosenfels will enter after Schaub leaves and play until the start of the fourth quarter when Alex Brink will enter. Shane Boyd will not likely play this week. The intention of Kubiak all along has been to alternate them the first two weeks to give each of them enough time to get comfortable.
As for the running backs, the rotation will change a little from a week ago. They will start with Brown, then go to Chris Taylor. Steve Slaton will be the third one in and Darius Walker will play with the final group.
