You'd expect him to say yes, but he said no and used a lot of the reasons that I've been using as his rationale: it's live action that gets the players ready more than practice against teammates; it gives the younger guys needed NFL experience;
If Nelson, a guy that was lost for the whole season in a "meaningless" preseason game, says that about them, does it change your opinion (if you thought the preseason's meaningless)?
no because i never thought they were meaning less if anything they are more meaningful now with the CBA limiting practices.. and contact in those practices to bare min.
If we started the season with no live contact beforehand a lot of players would be on IR after a few weeks.
