Idk, love or hate him for it but McVay even sits rookies who are expected to make contributions during regular season. Be interesting to see who plays in preseason and who has already made a name for themselves. I wouldn't be surprised to even see Bennett not take any snaps all though I hope he does. Despite that there are still a lot of other young guys worth watching so I still agree with you overall.
Right but the difference this year is he's going to need to play a lot of these guys. Top few will sit I am sure, but the rest should get plenty of snaps and seasoning.
My opinion is McVay's way of dealing with preseason, blew up in his face last year. the team came out flatter then any other season. the line needed work after loosing Whit. After winning the SB they were complacent and needed a jolt to get started. They looked like they were standing still and I feel like the early injuries were from not being prepared for game speed. It is one thing when you start out against the colts or the Raiders, but the Bills? And this year, more of the same. very tough at the beginning. I hope most of the team gets on the field at least a couple of plays.
100%. When it comes to injuries I think at some point it's straight luck. Sitting starters in preseason reduces chances of losing key guys but there's definitely two sides to that coin the other being ready to go for the season.
As much as I agree with this, I think MCVay is going to prefer the combined workouts with other teams. I read they are working out details to practice with the Broncos before the last preseaon game. IF true, the first team offense will get reps 2 weeks in row against an opponent 1 week before the season starts. This might carry some continuity in the opening game
