NFL would shite if the Saints started backups on a national telecast.

This is the kind of the out of the box thinking that the Saints coaching staff are unable to execute.
Pulling a stunt like this would invite all kinds of media speculation and Goodell would retaliate in even more diabolical ways.
A smart coach would start the starters for two series, then put in tha backups. The explanation would be that they are concerned with player safety and are putting players on a 3 game pitch count since the NFL scheduled 3 games in 10 days. This was the most efficient way to implement the pitch count.

I agree with your thinking. Remember when the Saints were 13-0 for the Superbowl run.
Payton rested people and didn’t care about winning the last three games. He took a lot of criticism.
When Payton used “ambush” in the Superbowl, he told Mike Pereira before the play what he was doing right after halftime.
In 2001 Pereira became Director of Officiating for the NFL, succeeding Jerry Seeman, and then was promoted to Vice President of Officiating in 2004.
Pereira retired from the NFL after the 2009 season. In my opinion, I believe Goodell asked Pereira to retire for not successfully finding a way to take the success of “ambush” from Payton.
The Saints saying player safety for taking out starters on a 3 game pitch count would result in suspensions, fines, and the loss of draft picks.
Despite the possibility of Goodell retaliating, I say, why not use your suggested strategy.
