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.

At R/H, you were close to the players at the practice area and when they had a live scrimmage at the R/H stadium you could hear EVERYTHING.

Things change not always for the better. Irsay and family have a good record with the fans. Since Jim took over, he has always put the fans first. The business Taylor and now AR is a departure from how they have communicated with the fans.

Its very odd that the Colts want to keep AR working without the rest of the starting offensive group

Also, playing 1-2 series w/ backups and against backups in a preseason game isn't going to be this huge detriment to AR's development that you and Doyel seem to think it is.
