I'm gonna miss preseason. I used it to look for irrelevant players that I use on my fantasy teams.
Preseason has changed the past few years. Even in the mid 2000s to early 2010s, the preseason was traditional (starters barely playing game 1, a bit more in game 2, and the full half in game 3, 4th game is basically a HoF game type).
Now you barely see teams playing any starters at all. Maybe a series or two. So no preseason doesn't matter in that regard.
Well, I guess I will be in the minority here. It seems most of you on the board look at the preseason games as absolutely useless. I think a poor preseason doomed us last year, as McVay kept an untested and obviously overwhelmed offensive line from playing until the opener. Preseason gives the rooks a game speed environment that no scrimmage can offer. Seeing a young man perform under “ the lights” gives the coach a chance to see how players react under pressure. This environment will be very unfortunate for the few who would have/could have made an impression under pressure. Of course I am overstating the “ doomed season” remark, but it looked foolish to me that our coaching staff protected a very young OL instead of seeing what they really had. Soap Box now thrown away.
