Pre Season Schedule

Rugby Saint II · 04-15-2017, 04:13 PM

No matter what they say preseason is an indicator of how the season will go. If we go 0-4 it will be a long long year.

The preseason should give us time to see how our backups look in action as well as seeing what we have in Dennis Allen's second(2.5) season on the defensive side of the ball. I believe that we need four preseason games just to get the timing and scheme down even though we lose some players in preseason. Cross your fingers for good luck with the injuries from here on out.

I like the off season moves, while still allowing for a Butler trade, and think we can draft well with the new scouting staff under Ireland. He did well last year and I think he'll bring us a good haul this year in the draft.

The idea of five picks in the first three rounds gets me excited about the possibilities. We can even fill a couple of needs with possible starters from players selected later in the draft like RB or O-line.

I will actually watch the draft this year rather than taping it and just watching our player picks. I hate Godhell!!!

Oh no, not this again?!?!?!

Preseason is practice.

When it comes to preseason, the only valid matchups that can be used to predict how things will go in the regular season are when the 1's go against the 1's. That's likely a series to a quarter in the first two games, maybe a half in the third, and not at all in the 4th game. Backups, and especially guys who will be on the street in September, will not be dictating the course of the season for the Saints.

Thank you for helping me explain my point. We will see what talent we have at all levels.
