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.
