Except they did exactly that. And it's a walk through.

People saying the Practice Squad guys need to be going full speed at all times are misinformed or ignorant. Im laughing that people are equating this to a full practice.

Talking to the guy after you insulted him in front of the team is not "exactly that".

I don't understand how this is still a thing.

From the sounds of it the practice squad was running a scout defense in a walk through and they kept picking off his passes. He has said he wasn't getting the looks they were supposed to, which leads me to believe people weren't doing what they should of been doing.

For those who may not know, the scout team generally runs a really basic defense for a walkthrough during practice.

The idea is "These are their basic formations that they run, and here is how we are going to attack it."

They will probably run the 1-3 plays that the coaches have picked to attack that zone 10-30 times.

There is a lot to be gained for this if done right. You get a sense for where the passing lanes and zones are going to be. You can work on perfecting your timing with your go to WR so that the ball is to them at the perfect time. More advanced QBs can start to process how teams would counter this play and start seeing how to counter that counter.

Imagine you are going up against a base 4-3 cover 2 scheme in practice. And after running it a few times, one Safety, instead of going into their deep zone, takes 2 steps back, and then cuts in front of the pass that they have seen 5-10 times prior.

If they were garbage throws that fell into the DBs hand, thats one thing, but if they were going full speed to make a point gently caress that guy. They are just wasting practice time and slowing everything down.

As for Brady I'm guessing that is during the phase of practice that is actually full speed and both sides of the ball don't know what play is going to be run.

As practice builds up you eventually start to build your playbook for the game. Of if this then that, if that then this. Etc, until you build the entire game plan. If we hit this run play to the RG 3x, then they counter it with the SOLB attacking that hole. If they use that blitz with the SOLB, we play action out of that and hit the X receiver on this route in the area that that LB has vacated.

So you would have the defense come out in their alignment or with certain notable players marked and it would be up to the offense to understand what play they should run, but the D has liberty to call their plays too, and actually play defense instead of just being bodies.


Ninja Edit: This is also why you hear about teams struggling, and then the defense calling out what plays they are going to run presnap. When nothing is working offensively you cut down from dozens of plays to maybe a dozen or less. The idea being that you keep practicing those till you can execute it 80% of the time and build off of that.

Edit 2: This is a lot of words for this subject but it's a pet peeve that I used to have from long ago when I played football (and was god awful.) We had 1 LB that felt he had to make huge plays on walkthroughs every loving practice, it generally had him getting pulled aside and getting bitched at, then us doing laps.

Played from '65 to '77, it sounds like everyone actually knew he was gay but he never admitted it.

Last game we played against them at their place I was at. It was the game Bud Adams flipped us off.

With that lusty old salt (who was the source of their vigor and bullshit wins against us) dead, the Bills should be able to trample them.
And when they do, there will be no NFL city and team that will be without the corruption of a loss to the Bills!
