Webb's not playing today

BM should definitely pick him for next week. The lad deserves a start when the team as a whole is up for the game.

yeah, i agree.
id be tempted to start him, and put Burrow back to 9 with Hood off the bench, but I think we will see the same game plan as last week.

By 'start' I do include off the bench. I just think his performance in that sort of game was no way to judge him.

Looking at the performance last week in the halves, perhaps starting him isn't a bad idea. Allows others to slot back in where they have been most comfortable this year and gives us a proper look at Ward in SL. Hood off the bench or give mcshane a chance to redeem something, burrow starting at 9 to get some zip in at DH.

I have been informed that Stevie Ward will start the game on friday night against the Giants, at least it's a chance to see how he handles the game/role from the outset as opposed to coming off the bench last week when the game had gone.
