I think it's best to look at these as televised practices.
I wish they were televised practices, but scrimmages, not games. I want to see starters getting reps against starters. Driskel leading a 2 minute offense winning the game with somebody named Schreck or Donkey or whatever, against other players who will be looking for work next week, who cares? That's what the XFL and USFL are for.
As units, all grades are off the board because none of it is what you will see come Sep. 11. The focus in PS is on individual play, and not team oriented stuff, and even that can be hard to judge based on the competition. Collins had a nice game, but who was he going up against? If you argue Mills didn't have all his starters which is why he was shaky at best, then how do the other 2 QBs both look better with less around them?
Defense has 11 sacks in 2 games. Does that mean we have a pass rush now? Don't answer because you don't know the answer. They had 11 in 3 games last PS, and ended the year with the 5th fewest sacks in the league.
Disappointed that Pierce wasn't out there getting live reps even if it were to only work on blocking assignments. You've got to get some of these guys some skins under their belts before the bell rings. Going against yourself on the practice field at far less than full game speed doesn't do that IMO.
Glad there's only 1 more of these monstrosities, because PS games are ******* brutal. And the NFL preseason has got to be the worst in all of sports. Even baseball players have to get a certain amount of live ABs and IPs in preseason to get ready for a season. Apparently you don't need very many, if any, reps at all in football, which for the most team sport there is, is ******* crazy. The Texans starting OL will have not played a single down together at game speed until 12 noon on 9/11. If they don't play together Thursday, that is.
