Yeah, Matthews is legit hurt and they need to let him sit until he is better.
They?ve given themselves a little cushion by racking up points early.
Let the kid heal.
It of course hasn?t helped that they?ve added two worker bees to his line to try and protect him from board work and therefore opposition can focus on Matthews with nobody else on the line capable of doing anything really creative.
This is a line of reasoning I hadn't thought of before.
But if they are shielding him it makes more sense to hold him out than saddle him with suboptimal linemates. Although Brown can finish.
I hate to say it but I wonder if he will be fighting back problems his whole career.
