Re: NFL Preseason Week #2
You have to keep everything in perspective. It was preseason and yes some teams only keep their starters out for 1 or 2 series, but I'm actually happy MS did what he did keeping the 1st string out so long. There was no OTA or no formal ones so by keeping them out MS was not only able to judge their performance but they were able to try and work on playing as a unit and were able to learn the blocking better. What I would have hoped to see is this week the starters staying out again for a whole half, then in preseason wk3 they could stay out for 3 quarters. Then the last game the starters could play 1 or 2 series and then evaluate all the newbies for the rest of the game. This would build cohesiveness and their endurance for the first game
