Was thinking the same; put Kai in. Not even to throw the ball, but to snap it, hand off, kill clock, get reads from the sidelines, run the huddle...... If we don't trust a 2nd stringer to hand off the ball, we're in trouble!

Maybe at the end of the game, from the 1 yard line, if you put the backup in, is it then more acceptable to go for the lead-padding touchdown? The excuse being that you want to get your backup a little action.. Or still better to make the 'we don't run the score up, we're better than that' statement? Sigh, I guess still better to not run up the score. In any case, I'd prefer the backup gets some snaps, I think it would be helpful in case they were suddenly needed in an important spot. Hope to see it happen this Saturday against Arizona.
