scrimmages tonight...

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Betterthenu</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Im not sure if anyone really knows but why if you are coach adams would you even scrimmage a team that you know will not be able to put up a fight. The point of scrimmages are to look at your players and run plays and see what and which personel packages are going to work. You cant get a fair evaluation of your players if you play bad competition. </div></div>

the raiders schedule is loaded with non-district patsies except for gate city. they need to play better teams not teams like north greene.

Or perhaps the two coaches know one another and was maybe doing the other a favor, maybe he lost a card game and had too, nobody knows but Jimbo and his staff, or possibly those close to him. So give it a rest, who cares!

All im saying is that the teams scrimmages are too prepare the schools for the regular season and the regular season is to prepare a team for the playoffs. So unless the two coaches know each other then there would be no other reason. No reason to get your panties in a bunch just simply making a comment.

why not face a weak team in the first scrimmage to work on your execution, then play a tougher team in the 2nd scrimmage?

No panties in a wad I just think it is hilarious that people are already downing teams because of who they scrimmaged first. It is pretty stupid. The first scrimmage is nothing more than a glorified practice and means nothing.

then you should down the same fans that brag about the first scrimmages

Scrimmages really don't mean anything anyway. It's a chance to play a lot of people and try a lot of different looks. How many times have you saw a team look good in preseason and stink during the season or visa versa. In less than 2 weeks we get down to the nitty gritty.

Just look at the college teams they schedule cupcakes for their first game.

But regular season and scrimmages are a bit different. One counts, one doesn't. Plus college teams don't scrimmage each other they intra squad.

Teams schedule weaker teams for many reasons but how many times do teams play poor schedules in the regular season and get to the playoffs and find themselves in a tough game and not know how to react because they havnt played any good teams. I am not trying to speak harshly of anybody in Burtons program just making statements.
