With Only 3 PS Games, How Much Time Will Starters Get In The 3 PS Games?

[Fin-Loco]

I'm curious on this. I know in 4 PS years gone by that it was typically one possession in PS1, 1/4 in PS2, Into the 3/4 in PS3 and almost none in PS4.

I'm hoping we get a full 1/4 in PS1, into the 3/4 in PS2 and almost none in PS3 as we're trying to finalize our roster.

Thoughts?

my guess has been a couple series game one (but a quarter would be nice).

dress rehearsal game two (come out for a series in the third).

nothing game three.

but i really have no idea how teams will play it.

I personally hate the change.

I know veterans don't particularly love preseason, but its where you get everyone a little consistency and yourself a chance as the coach/GM to see younger guys you like in real game situations.

3 PS games is plenty.

Personally I don't think so. If anything 4 wasnt enough with how inconsistent most teams are the first few weeks of the regular season before coming together.

4 days away from Dolphins football!!!

Right but how is that fixed with an extra PS game featuring a bunch of players that won't make the team and will be on other club's rosters or looking for a job the next day?

Fair enough, that comes down to playing time in those games. If coaches don't want to give that time it won't be of any benefit.

l still remember when there were 12 rounds in the draft and 6 PS games!

Unsure if less is more in this case...

I figured a few others would remember that. I figure they needed six since all they did offseason was their non-football job rather than staying in shape.

A little, then a decent amount, then none would be my guess….

Do you remember when the super bowl champion played the college all-stars?

My guess is that games 1 to 3 will look like games 1 to 3 from previous years. The pointless game 4 has been eliminated.

Agree. I think the NFL is moving toward an 18-game schedule with two pre-season games.

Scrimmages with other teams could then become more important.

I think it had less to do with the amount of games and more how much time the actual starters got. Either way I doubt teams want to play too many starters the last week of preseason.

It's a blessing to not have a 4th preseason game featuring nothing but guys that are gonna be cut.

What's amazing though is that offenses came out like a beast even without PS and regular camp last year.
