7 on 7 in the preseason is to get timing of pass routes and the passing game tuned up.

If your team doesn't pass the ball then 7 on 7 doesn't make much sense.
I am shocked that you were the only one in this group to say this. I agree 100% and that is the main reason for this. Repetition is everything in sports. All the good QB/WR combinations spend hours in repetition. And, as you said, it is very good for the DBs as well. I am all for it and the exercise is what a player and team makes of it.I feel like it gives much needed reps to WRs and DBs. Plus timing with QB. A lot has been learned over the years for us. Plus the conditioning always helps.
Why aren't these 7 on 7 games televised in a area where there is such a great demand for it in Joliet?
McNamara and Wilmington did a 7 on 7 last night. Two power run offenses that lost all-state backs but return their QB's went at it...Zinanni mentioned that this scrimmage gives the Irish practice against pass plays out of the double wing - and practice against bootlegs, since Wilmo's primary pass play is a play action bootleg. Reents mentioned how it allows the Cats to practice different pass routes and defend against a team with bigger receivers...
How would you like to have a drink with those coaches after the scrimmage? Two Hall of Famers, six state titles, five runners up, 575+ wins...and probably the two programs that most dislike IC the last five years...
