Since you seem to be a representative of TDG, I will voice my suggestion here. The timing of these previews are totally wrong. Right now we are focused on camp and immediate upcoming games.

It would be much more effective to run these previews in the off-season where we are starving for content and then revisit them the week of the actual game.

I should add that I do enjoy the previews. Good content but wrong timing, IMO.

I certainly agree with your assessment and your suggestion but I am not a representative of TDG. I have accused of that before but it is not true.
