enjoy game good levels maintain opportunity stage time
I think it's a good opportunity (to rest), but we don't want them doing nothing. We want them to maintain what the conditioning levels are at this stage of the game. But it's a good time to get away from the game a little bit, too, and enjoy your family.

We went through this last year with Prongs. We have to have leadership across the board. We will need a total team effort to get through this.
