Overall, I like this idea. I also think dratted players as well as UFA cherish the opportunity to play in font of fans/camera.
I watched all 4 (boring) preseason games. The 1st game was a real yawner, but by the 3rd games I was watching certain players. By game 4 my shift went from hoping to watch an enjoyable game, to primarily watching specific players. In game 4 it was fun & educational watching the Rams switch QBs seemingly every drive. Feel in love with Thomas, Webster & Allan. Plus, I have an overall better feel for who is on our practice squad. Personally, I find it very helpful.
I can only imagine how helpful iit must be for the coaches to see how players perform in a live situation. It must also be helpful for the players to go live and gain some tape if/when they get cut.
Yes, the games are on the boring side, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they are useless. As an emotionally invested fan, I want the powers that be to use all avenues to put the best team on the field when the regular season starts.
