Will starters play more this preseason?

nothing has been said but it is my opinion that we will play longer because we have new system and new coach and decreaced practice time

I'd like to see the starters play 2 quarters every game. Is that too much?

With the way things have gone this off-season, do you see guys like Alex Smith, Vernon Davis, Frank Gore, Michael Crabtree, Iupati, A.Davis etc... playing more early on? seeing how they aren't familiar with the new scheme? same question for the defense?

I think they should play a few extra series each game to try and cram as much as possible in a short time frame.

Thoughts?

I say Crabtree will probably play less this preseason than in years past.

really going out on a limb there huh? lol

I think they will

I think they have to. Every snap will count, practice and game.

I can see the starters getting a bit more playing time than usual, but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised to see the coaches treating this like an ordinary preseason. We do need to prepare our starters for the regular season, but its still important to evaluate the entire roster moving forward. I also think injury concerns are still a factor.

I personally want to see our starters get more playing time this preseason though. Actually, I feel this way every preseason lol.
