Are we the only team who doesn't scrimmage other teams?

I've been seeing a lot recently about teams practicing with other teams and scrimmaging. Can someone explain (besides JR being cheap) why we do not do this? New England and Tampa are doing it this week, Atlanta and Cincy did it last week. I remember years ago at Furman, we'd practice with the Falcons occasionally. Would this not be beneficial? Get an idea of what some other teams are fielding or atleast the mental preparation of going against someone else in practice.

 

I definitely wouldn't do Atlanta, but we have the Titans and Redskins close enough.

why is the default setting always "JR being cheap"??

that's what preseason games are for.

 

anyway, with the injury to brady because of an over-aggressive bucs player, how can anyone think that this is a good idea?

 

having 4 meaningless games in which starters can get hurt is bad enough.

I dont see why it would be such a bad idea if all they did was wrap up and no one could hit the QBs (Just like it is done in mini-camp) At the very least it would make the players compete harder which in turn could only make them better

 

Nevermind, I just saw how Tom Brady got hurt....

That's exactly how it's supposed to be, unfortunately there are players that don't care (Vontaze Burfict, Adrian Clayborn).

      So...Those 2 Point Conversions

      I can understand the logic. Going for 2 made sense the first time considering how far down we were. Then you don't get it and are basically forced to go for it the second time, too. Way down the list of concerns we have, IMO.

      The successful teams in the NFL right now have one thing in common: Patience. Not just with their QB, but with every facet of the program. There are going to be successes and failures, but no one panics and makes reactive decisions. Look at the Eagles, the Bills, the Ravens, the Packers, and hell, even the (newly successful) Lions. All of them showed patience with their QB's growth, let their coaches do their jobs, have drafted well, developed their own players, and plugged holes in their roster and organization with players and situations that made sense. That's what we need. And if that isn't what we have now, we need to make moves to get it there. If that means they need to blow it up to start over, then blow it up and start it over the right way. If that means to change their approach from top to bottom, change it now. But the blueprint of success is out there in the league, teams just think they know better, or they don't have the discipline to follow through.
