you pay the front line guys a bag, you can't afford injury in the spring as there is a gap between your top talent and your backups

I don’t think so if anything it makes it more important to build continuity and run the scheme since it’s your first “game” time atmosphere

Yeah your stars will play less but guys like mensah, Wilson, etc… need to figure out what they need to do to be successful. Mensah needs reps figuring out how to get the ball to Toney… a lot of RPO stuff is feel and being on the same page as your WRs
 
Veterans will get limited reps in spring no doubt but the retention allows for the young cats to get bulk of reps in spring without worrying about them needing to start unless they deserve it. Should be a ton of rotating going on at every position group knowing the front line guys are set in stone for most part at nearly ever position besides O line & Receiver to an extent

Assuming injuries are not plentiful, this is the best spring in 2 decades. Best spring game in that same time period.

I can’t wait
 
Spring is to build continuity and develop young talent into either rotational players or in some cases starters. Mo Toure does not need to let it rip but will still be there as a leader of the defense.
