I actually don't know he does or doesn't. I think I read where he's 15-3 as a coach in pre-season. That would be an impressive .833 winning percentage. Better then any regular season average.@suncoastvike said:
I feel very good after watching the 1st string O&D units. I was also very happy with the depth when it was 1st string and 2nd mixed. Denver didn't make any game out of it till it was mostly waaay backups. I liked what I saw. Just need to keep telling myself it preseason and remember Zims teams seem to put more effort into getting wins in preseason. As previous records show and not all teams do. That said. Yeah alot to like and get excited about Sat. Well oiled seems to be a good description from my view point.
I feel good. I don't think Zimmer's teams try to win in preseason any more than anyone else. He pulls the starters pretty quickly.
My point is it's just that. Pre-season and nobody outside the coaching staff really knows what the goal was. Some coaches think its important to win because the score is being kept. Others might think getting in plays you designed run in game is more important then plays that have higher probability of success in a given situation.
I do like what I saw and feel pretty good. So from this fans perspective even pre-season games are important to look good. Even if meaningless.
