If so, why? I think there's only one good reason: To play the backups. That didn't happen against Western or AF. If the starters are in, the minutes should be meaningful. They still risk injury being in the game. I wouldn't mind seeing some numbers get padded for post-season awards (if that turns out to be possible).
I'm not sure that continuing to hand off the ball against 8 and 9 man fronts and getting stuffed does anything to improve the offensive line. In fact, it may hurt their confidence in themselves and others.
