Nah, sorry, totally wrong. Way better to rest the starters. Just look at who is getting beat up in this game --- CEH, Honey Badger, and did we ever get word on Gay? You take the free week whenever you can get it, absolutely zero question about it.
Last year we rested the starters and were looking just fine in the Cleveland game until Patrick got hurt. I don't think there are any studies that conclusively show that "rust" hurts a team.
