They should have been more up front about their intentions for it to be nothing more than a regular non-padded practice, just in the stadium. Not to mention everyone at home they trolled by advertising it would be televised. Not the way to endear yourself to fans, as they claim to want to do.

Jeff Prosser venting about this on 1010XL right now. Says it’s wrong they lured all those people to go through the expense and trouble of going to the stadium, sit in scorching heat and then be shown a typical workout in pad shells.

Yeah, I heard Jeff Prosser this morning, going on and on and on about it, waa waa waa.   Radio hosts who spend an inordinate amount of time complaining that they didn't see a "real" scrimmage are burying the lead, and that is, Trevor Lawrence looked really good.  That is by far the most important development of the preseason, and whatever is second is not even close.

But you know what?  When it comes to talk radio, negativity sells.  So I understand why he chose to spend his time whining this morning.

As for the "expense," all it took was to go online and register and then drive down to the stadium.  What expense?  It was free.  And it was fun.  I enjoyed it.
