You're basically just making the first two weeks of the actual season the preseason, except guys are now playing full games at full blast with no warm up and practice in a real game situation. I'm not at all convinced that's a better way to avoid injury but if there's data to back that idea up I'd definitely listen to it.
I’m willing to take a lesser performance for a week or two over the risk of losing an important player all season and most coaches have reached that point too in the way they handle these games.
In the end I’m not convinced there will be any preseason games at all in 5 years beyond maybe 1 or 2 (and simply for the fringe guys on the roster).
Nobody wants to play their top guys in these meaningless games any longer. [Reply]

Does that mean Andy doesn't know what he's talking about? [Reply]

Better be cheaper than the $3.5M guaranteed this season...... [Reply]
