re: Question about scrimmage?

I know the offense got 230 yards rushing from scrimmage. But does this mean trouble on defense especially the D-line or is the running game fixed already?

You can't take any sort of stats from a controlled scrimmage and make anything out of it. It's not like a regular game. They run WAY more plays than we do in a regular game, plus they work on down and distance and things, not just trying to get first downs and sustain drives.



Some people were trying to rag on Jefferson for only completing 9 of 20 passes or whatever. But Miles said they were working on the long passing game, so if all 20 passes were 25+ yards downfield, 9 out of 20 is not that bad. Or if he'd had gone 20 for 25, but all 25 passes were swing passes to RBs out of the backfield--that would not be nearly as impressive. We just don't know since nobody actually saw it.
