Belichick’s view on joint practices vs. preseason games

The goal of the joint practices is different than a preseason game. You script certain lineups and combinations to see how they play or how they handle a particular situation. It isn't about play calling or trying to win.  You can do so many things and then come back the next day after watching film and correct technique and change personnel.

I’m sure that’s all they were doing all day. Just tossing long passes with no opposing pressure or looks to react to. 

You're missing my point. QBs know they aren't going to get hit in practice. That makes a huge difference in how you react to pressure. Hence why live game reps are so important.

Football is a physical game. Very physical. Adjusting to that aspect of the game is just as important as reading defenses and chemistry with receivers. A lot of QBs much better then Darnold have been ruined because they weren't protected by the o-line.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
