Shortened contact practice time and fewer exhibition games (old school) mean team-on-team practice makes sense.
Guys fighting in full gear (4 point chin strap, mouth piece face guards. shoulder pads, etc.) is hilarious.
True, except when the guys weigh 250-330 lbs and are generally very muscular, and if someone falls the wrong way in a scrum of people, it’s all fun and games until someone tears an ACL!
