7-7 passing scrimmages
7-7 passing scrimmages
I know it's a bit early but I'm sure some teams already have some of these scheduled, typically doesn't hit until July but thought I'd put it out there to see what teams had lined up.
Re: 7-7 passing scrimmages
Probably unpopular opinion here….but as a fan I don’t like the 7 on 7’s much. Yes it’s interesting watching the QB’s sling it but it doesn’t feel like football at all. Obviously coaches get needed info and seeing kids get reps…so I get why they do them and I’ll probably go to a couple, but would much rather watch a real scrimmage. Just my opinion.
Re: 7-7 passing scrimmages
I don't really think it's an unpopular opinion otherwise you'd be having a lot of ppl showing up and watching these. However they're something very useful for coaches and players especially when teams hit time to break in new QBs. It gives the QBs more of a feel for the speed at the backend, now obviously there's no rush but that's when the scrimmages start to ramp up. While they're not popular amongst most fans 7-7 are needed for certain teams, what I never understood is those teams that run the ball 90% of the time.Ironman92 wrote: Thu Jun 09, 2022 9:16 pm Probably unpopular opinion here….but as a fan I don’t like the 7 on 7’s much.

Again, they have ample importance for the team and staff….just way rather watch an actual scrimmage. Football is a lot of wear and tear…and break so 7 on 7’s about best simulation you can get.
Jackson always hosts 1 or 2 with 4 teams. I’ve never seen a team run???

Re: 7-7 passing scrimmages
LOL, nah I didn't mean to say they ran it during the scrimmage, I'm talking about those run heavy teams having the 7-7. To me it would be more benefit to them defensively, rather than needing to work on passing when in a game they might pass it 4-5 times a game and that's just off PA.Ironman92 wrote: Fri Jun 10, 2022 10:07 am Again, they have ample importance for the team and staff….just way rather watch an actual scrimmage.

They all look good out of pads. Take the element of hitting out of the gAMe. They all can play it. Add in the element of hitting. Oooooo boy. We see some different folks
