Play It Smart... Washington Has to Sit
He was the Titans big move in free agency and I know what you’re thinking “Nate Washington has to play!” Games like this one against the Steelers are exactly the reason they signed him right? Wrong. They signed him to win the Super Bowl!
The schedule is a 16 game marathon and this is just 1 of 16. It may have all the hype, but it’s worth no more and no less than any of the others. Remember last year? They played without Albert Haynesworth, yet somehow that worked out.
Hamstring’s are tricky injuries and can linger for an entire season if not dealt with. Playing this game on a Thursday plays a huge part in this decision. It gives him 3 fewer days to heal and by sitting him they give him 10 extra days to heal for the Texans and the other 15 games on the schedule.
This is “A” big game, but “THE” big game is in February and it’s more important that Nate Washington be on the field in Miami than Pittsburgh.
