August 3rd - Hall of Fame Game against the Giants.
5 days later...
August 8th - at Carolina
August 16th - at Steelers
August 23rd - Buccaneers at the Ralph
5 days later...
August 28th - Lions at the Ralph
--------------------------------
Hall of Fame Game - One series on offense and defense for the 1st team starters only.
At Carolina - Two series on offense and defense for the 1st team starters at most.
At Pittsburgh - Three series on offense and defense for the 1st team starters at most.
Bucs at The Ralph - Starters get 1 series on offense and defense, then only 2nd and 3rd stringers play.
Lions at The Ralph - Starters sit, only rookies and players on the bubble start.
Preseason is meaningless to most NFL players. 5 games is ridiculous.
I think the NFL Pro Bowl is a great example of how the preseason should be. It's a practice at best.
Something needs to be done with preseason football.
Preseason games should be more like controlled scrimmages.
I'd rather watch a 40 yard dash competition between each teams starting players on offense.
I'd rather watch a quarterback competition between each teams starting quarterbacks.
Which team has the faster wide receivers? Who's the fastest running back?
Who's the fastest tight end?
The last thing I want to watch is a great NFL player get injured in a completely irrelevant preseason game.
