Here's what Coach Schwartz has to say today concerning which QB will start this Saturdays game against Peyton Manning and Indianapolis Colts. “I’m on the same schedule with that we were on the last couple weeks. Today was the first day we started doing Indianapolis; we’ll go back in this afternoon and we’ll meet, we’ll talk about that tomorrow, but I’ll let you guys know tomorrow." Schwartz goes on to say, "I already know what we’re going to do, but it’s something we haven’t approached the players with yet, simply from putting it in stages, and wanting to stay on the same schedule we‘ve done the last couple of preseason games.”
In related matters, Schwartz talked about the receivers getting time with Culpepper and Stafford. “We don’t have a No. 1 unit here, but yes, both quarterbacks will see time with all the wide receivers, if that’s a better way to put it, yes. What will happen is we’ll rotate receivers through. So they’ll be some series where you’ll see some guys some series where you won’t but they’ll rotate through. A lot of the players will go into the third quarter, not all, but we still have a lot more decisions to make."
Schwartz hints that everybody will get playing time though. "We have probably some game-time decisions of guys with little nicks here and there, but quarterbacks most likely will be sort of on a quarter and a half basis again like we’ve done in the past.”
On a final note the Lions have announced today that RB Allen Ervin has been released.
