Play against backup quarterbacks.
There's a reason backup quarterbacks are backup quarterbacks. When they get an opportunity to shine, most fall flat on their face.
Trent Green got a chance a couple weeks ago at home against Buffalo. He promptly threw the Bills a touchdown, and now Marc Bulger is back in the saddle again.
The Chiefs have tried Damon Huard and Tyler Thigpen with generally disastrous results. Suffice it so say if you played the Carolina defense against Kansas City last week, you're feeling pretty good about yourself.
Even going against Sage Rosenfels with a struggling Indianapolis defense paid off last week. The second-stringer tried to make too much happen -- not an unusual occurence for a wannabe starter -- the result being a couple of sacks, a fumble that resulted in a Colt touchdown and a late-game interception, all of which combined to make Indy's defense a nice play.
This week, the Texans are expected to trot Rosenfels out there again. That means you should give Miami's much improved defense serious consideration.
