In normal seasons, I would totally agree. With four new starters, I just feel it would have been beneficial for them to play against someone other than their teammates. They needed to work on communication and getting the feel of how the guy next to you sees things and how they execute. Back when Moby Dick was still a minnow and I was still at playing weight, I played next to a C and T that I had played together since little league with. It was definitely an advantage, we could almost finish each other's sentences. I just think at the NFL level, that would be even more critical. I dunno, my experience doesn't go beyond 90s high school playing, admittedly.
