Detroit Lions Dan Campbell shares disadvantage of 18-game NFL schedule.
This week, the NFLPA was finalizing a proposal that would eliminate organized team activities for a longer ramp up period before training camp.
Many pundits have speculated the league could consider making changes to the offseason schedule, if the players agree to remove one preseason game and play an 18-game schedule.While the fourth-year coach expressed a certain level of indifference, players on the lower end of the depth chart trying to make teams could face challenges with a shortened preseason.
“Not really. The hard thing is that’s another game, but yet if you reduce a preseason game, you have all these young guys you’re trying to develop, and you have to have them every year," said. "You look at what we were able to do with some of our young guys last year, and how important they were to us winning, but there’s a process to it. If you don’t get them developed or get them enough reps to where they help you, then – that’s the only thing.
