Hernandez probably cannot wait to see a different color jersey

in front of him.
I guess there is some value in practicing for 3 days against the team

you are going to play that week, but I don’t see it.

When camp was longer and teams needed to practice against some fresh faces a week before the first preseason game, that was okay. Practicing and then playing against the same goes seems unproductive.
Guys - not goes !

He probably won't play that much in the CLE game.

I wonder what the over/under on how many fights he gets in to during those practices?

The ability to learn from another team can be incredibly valuable in terms of self scouting and self awareness. YOu get to see a different offensive and defensive scheme than what you see every day and you get to battle against different levels of players you may not have on your team. It's a great thing to do, there is not much in terms of downside.

Practicing against another teams 1s is best way to get ready with such limited live practice.
would prefer if

this happend on a non game week instead but there is allways a benifit to competition
It's almost like having an extra

preseason game......

Playing paddy cake against your own team mates/friends just does not cut it like going against someone on another team...it's a good tool to use.....
These guys are born with a gene to compete

The Lions have a decent team, should be fun reading practice reports and such.
