00:00Any decision on what you're going to do this Sunday with the starters and with Saquon specifically?
00:05Yeah, we're going to rest some guys.
00:07I know we're locked into that number two seat, so we're going to rest some guys.
00:12There are going to be some guys that are resting.
00:14There are going to be some guys that are in reserve roles.
00:18You can't obviously rest everybody with the schedule, pardon me, with the roster.
00:24And so, yeah, that's our plan moving in here forward.
00:29Is Saquon going to be one of them?
00:31Yeah, he'll probably be somebody that rests.
00:32With Saquon specifically, what was the consideration in allowing him to pursue that record
00:37and then ultimately deciding not to?
00:39Yeah, again, not going to get into all that.
00:41Obviously, a lot plays into it.
00:43Obviously, it's a very special record that's been standing for a very long time by a great player.
00:51It's a team record.
00:53It's a team record that everybody's involved in.
00:56You take, you weigh in all those things, but at the end of the day,
00:59you just try to do what's best for the team.
