Belichick’s view on joint practices vs. preseason games

[Martin]

Interesting on how Belichick views joint practices vs. preseason games. Very much aligned with Rhule. This is from the Athletic:

“However, sources cautioned Monday that Belichick places much more stock in joint practices than the preseason setting. That’s because coaches can control the setting. Last week, for example, Belichick and Joe Judge collaborated the night before each practice to align specific personnel groupings and create different challenges for their teams to counter. The coaches could learn more at practice than in the preseason, when teams are reluctant to put anything on film for their regular-season opponents to study. 
 

Belichick’s actions validated that claim, as the starting offense only played seven preseason series but got significantly more work in the two weeks of practices with the Eagles and Giants.”

I would be REALLY cautious hosting joint practices with Belichick and the Patriots…

They don't need to share the practice field with you to film your practices.

If Rhule has any smarts, he would avoid having ANY practices with Beliacheats pats.

So true!  Seems like most agree.

Our joint practices this year were a HUGE success

[Moo Daeng]

These practices at least significantly offset the loss of a preseason game.

Nah, clearly Rhule and apparently BB don’t know what they are doing in this league and just like to coddle their players... /s

But I learned on the Huddle that players only get experience during preseason games.

Isn't hitting the opposing team's QB not allowed in joint practices? I would think it a lot easier for QBs to step into throws without the fear of having your spleen ruptured by a 300 lbs DT.

I’m sure that’s all they were doing all day. Just tossing long passes with no opposing pressure or looks to react to.
