Doug:
“I think that’s the trend. I think that’s where we’re going and the way the league is heading. I like it. I think the players like it. It does break up hitting the same (players), your teammates for so long. But the thing about practice, and really a joint practice as coaches, is that we get to set the situation. We get to control the environment. Sometimes you don’t those in games. You don’t get that situation in a game. This way we get that and can work on specific things and get some really good work done with the starters.”
All good points.
