Interesting point made on radio.

I had to listen to part of the game on the radio and they brought up the fact that the Patriots have merged practices with the Redskins and some other team that I can't think of right now but the point was that they may be more poilshed due to the fact they are practicing against another NFL team and not themselves.

Lafell also said after he was signed by the Patriots that there training camp was much more strenious than Rivera's.

I think that it would have a tremendous effect on the team if they had merged practices since it would replicate game speed more so than playing against your own team. Just a thought.....

Or. . .it's preseason.

 

To be fair, Zod did tell us, and has said many times, that our practices have been fairly loose and relaxed lately, and even attributed that to the slow starts we've had in the past.

 

Also, I've wondered why we don't practice with another NFL team. Seems odd that a lot of other teams are doing (hell, even the Falcons did it with the Titans randomly and with the Texans a few days before their preseason game).

they did joint practices with/against the two teams they played this preseason before us. I like the idea and think we should look into it for the future. They were one of three teams to do joint practices twice this preseason (along with Falcons and Texans) and one of the 13 total NFL teams that did joint practices this preseason

here are articles arguing why such joint practices are a plus:

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
