I don't see the issue with limiting his snaps. He's an old pro, he knows his body, the team knows where he is with the playbook, he's teaching the young guys the day to day, and we don't need to win every game by 20.
Just have him and his body ready to roll fresh plays when the playoffs come. Let him lay it all on the line when it counts. If he blows the knee out at that point no one will care because everyone knows it was his shot at a ring and the team's shot at putting themselves on a list of one.
