How would u handle pre-season?

How much would you play your stars?

Its a fine line to walk, you certainly don't want to get them injured, but at some point, u need to get the rust off of them before the season starts....

But if you coach the Packers, how much "practice" do you really think Bret Favre needs? I mean its in his blood, to play, he can't need much....

I like the philosophy alot of coaches seem to apply which is a quarter per game added, until the preseason ends.....

I think if it was me, they would probably play a quarter in the first 2 games, and a half in the last 2, just to get them ready....

I think its much more beneficial to give the backup (especially if a rookie) alot of reps to see what they can really do....

I mean during the season, you really don't get too good an idea by bringing them in for a set of downs, when you are down 34-3 in the fourth.....

I think the preseason can be much more beneficial being used that way.....

Do coaches REALLY care if they win preseason games? i mean isnt it just human nature to want to win no matter what it is....I mean i see them calling time outs at the end, trying to get the ball back just like reg season, they must want to win, or at worst, want to practice the 2 minute drill....

Even though the games dont mean alot, i would still prefer to go into the season after a 4-0 preseason rather than 0-4....Just for the simple fact of "confidence" among the players...

Would be interested to hear your opinions on this.....

I would play my starters for the 2nd quarter and part of the third quarter! This way they get the feel of playing after halftime .

NFL coaches are PUPPETS. They kiss the GMS ass, GM kisses the OWners ass. Owner kisses the Fans ass. That is why the NFL SUCKS.

When Carson Palmer and Ely Manning are 1st overall, your leauge sucks. Sucks like American basketball sucks.
