I never liked joint practices because I fear injuries when the other team might be a tad careless or aggressive. But I do know teams get tired of going up against each other at some point too. technically I guess they could still arrange this, but not much time left to do so Joint practices are for losing teams trying to rebuild!

Good point. Didn't even think of that till you said it, but that makes total sense. Generally I like joint practices, but don't think it's a very big issue either way. 1
eball Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 I think joint practices give coaches headaches, and they are more helpful when you don’t really know what you have on your team. If there were no preseason games I’d be more in favor of them. I don’t want to see some other team’s 4th string wannabe rolling up on Josh Allen’s ankle because he’s desperate to make the team. Bottom line — this decision will have little to no impact on the Bills’ preparedness for the regular season. 2
Greg S Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 We have 3 preseason games this year so plenty of time to evaluate players in game situations. If it was like last year with no preseason games then I could see the benefit of joint practices as that would be your only time against an opponent before the regular season starts.

Craig Oi Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 We are farther along in our development (It's been a LONG time since anyone could say that.) then the other teams in our division. We basically know what we got and are concentrating on ourselves. In the past I saw value in having joint practices but being as things are now I'm fine with them going without one. 1

After all that tough talk, he sat out the scrimmage. There is a respectable way to talk smack and have fun. Newton is just annoying and obnoxious. A completely unlikeable person. I am thoroughly enjoying watching him crash and burn the last couple years. Edited July 14, 2021 by HereComesTheReignAgain 1
Paup 1995MVP Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 Teams barely seem to practice hard in training camp anymore. At least not full contact. And no more two a days. Most joint practice sessions turn into all out brawls anyways. Who needs that?? We have 3 preseason games to get in the groove and work out the kinks. I am sure will be ready to steamroll the Steelers and their overrated coach, QB and entire roster for that matter come September.
