Heard a discussion about why these practices are more important than getting in 3 or 4 series in an exhibition game. To begin with you are playing first team against first team (mostly) in practices. You get to set up the situation you want to work on-ie 30 seconds left, you are on your own 40 down by 2 with one time out-whatever situation you want to work on you get to. And it isn't for only 2 or 3 sets, you get 20-30 plays to run, all of them what you as an offense want to work on. Makes sense that AR/Steichen get more out of that than a shittly exhibition game.
