Okay. This is the Pack a Day podcast. Welcome in everyone to the Friday episode of the Pack of Day podcast.

We're all here again.

I'm here with Jen and Aaron.

We're finally on the, I guess the game's not tomorrow,

Saturday, the week of our first preseason game, which I know people are going to say not real

football. It's the closest thing we have right now. So I'm, I'm excited for that. And to jump right

into it, the first thing we're going to start with is kind of the topic

around the preseason games and just kind of the theory of playing your starters.

Matt LaFleur in a conference pointed to a study that the NFL gave the coaches from a couple

playing in the season and, or in preseason, having a less likely chance of being injured

during the regular season and vice versa. That actually may be sitting your starters is hurting

them in the long run, at least when it comes to risk of injury. So, Aaron, I'm going to throw

it to you right away because you're the one that brought this risk of injury. So, Aaron, I'm going to throw it to you right

away because you're the one that brought this to our attention. What are your, I guess,

on this two part, what are your thoughts on that? Do you think it's a real thing or it is coming

from the NFL? Do you think it's a little fudged up so they get more starters in preseason?
