[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 731495, member: 10441"] I think that's too simplistic. While partly true, there are times when a young guy will be matched up on someone that will test them. Spriggs against Barnett for example. It's not so much about do our 3rd stringers beat theirs it's about does Hawkins show a grasp of the defense and can make changes in the flow of the play according to how we've taught him reads. It's more individual than it is team, at least for me in the preseason. For much of the games anyway, but there is a part of guys that have been thru it all before getting their sea legs back so to speak. Those guys you want to see get in a flow and to a degree. it's different things for different players. Not only in physical growth but mental growth and then there is just putting player A in a positions he's never been in before and see how he responds. I used to hate the preseason. Maybe i'm desperate, but i've come to find an appreciation in watching them that I didn't have before. Mostly because I don't watch them with the perception that winning or losing plays means much, but instead I watch players and see if they win or lose the play against their man. [/QUOTE]
