Game preview
Head coach Nathaniel Hackett insisted that having the team’s backups play against Buffalo’s starters was a good opportunity to evaluate the roster. He also expressed little concern about opposing game plans in prep football. “No, it’s about our team,” Hackett said. “Our team and only our team. The only time it will affect the kind of things we do is during the season.” In the preseason, it’s clear that Hackett’s focus is on practice reps and getting settled in for starters. For the rest, it’s all about playing those behind the starters to give the coaching staff the best film to evaluate and make final decisions on the 53-man roster. I kind of like that mentality to be honest. We’ll have to see how it goes in the first part of the regular season. Join us in the comments section below to talk Broncos-Bills in the early stages of the preseason.
