Summary and evaluation of Rams Saints game

[Twopointtry]

If it were my call, Dean Connors wouldn't make the opening day roster. I know I'm the bad guy, but that's my honest opinion. I think people are overreacting to his preseason debut. Maybe put him on the PS. If another team claims him, don't worry about it. I don't think he's a special player.

Yeah they do that almost every year. Rivers specifically has been cut I think almost every year and added to PS. I fully expect Rivers to be cut again and added to PS this year. Feel like they used to do that with past RBs like Malcolm Brown and maybe even Daryll Henderson one season towards the end.

Except Rivers played in the preseason the one year he was cut.

23 - not cut, played in the preseason
24 - not cut, didn't dress in preseason
25 - cut (rib injury), saw action in the preseason.

He wasn't cut in 23 or 24.

I'm not so sure Klare doesn't get some playing time this year. He did get some reps with the 1st team in camp with Allen out.

I think there's the potential that any of the rookie draft picks or any udfas they kept could get some playing time.
If we have got a good enough lead in the 4th quarter, I would imagine that each position coach would have some specific plays drawn up for every player to get some game time experience.
No reason not to. Rest your starters and get some experience for the young guys. Win win.

Unfortunately there just isn't any time in the week or season to do that. But a player can certainly be put in to run plays already installed.

Tangentially, end of games in blowouts can look a little weird - like why are they passsing here - cause coaches have to burn some plays or run them again to keep plays off tape or play out certain sequences they wanted on tape anyways. Often these considerations amongst many others are far above getting guys playing time or having developmental plays for them at the end of games.

I meant specific plays that that player is familiar with.
Not giving away any play that other teams don't already have tape on.
Could be run plays or pass plays.
Down field blocking on a run play in a real game is always good to get experience in and get on tape.
So much of the individual coaching during the season is done in practice between the games and the tape room by the position coaches for the rooks.

I gotta tell you, I think it's much less than people think. Almost all the work during the week is install for the opponent in season.

There's individual coaching but it's like here and there and some from the tape cut up from the weeks previous game but that's a couple hours of one day.
