The 2012 season will get underway this week with the start of the Preseason. The Preseason will run for four weeks starting with the traditional Hall of Fame game between A II P and H this week, held in the Hall of Fame founding city of Philadelphia. The Preseason will conclude with the Mexican Seafood Classic between 69ers and United in Albuquerque on August 30th in preparation for the 2012 season kickoff on Wednesday September 5th. Preseason is usually a springboard for the season in that it gives teams opportunities to gauge their rosters, most notably rookies and draft picks, as well as players in different situations. It also brings intrigue to some of the players that may have slipped through the August draft, opening the door towards the usually busy Week 1 Free Agency. History has shown that successful Preseason results do not automatically ensure team success in the Regular Season. However players that have had successful in the Preseason, usually go on to have a good season, or in the case of rookies and backups - successful futures. With the Preseason, the entire roster counts towards a team scoring each week, so it will be easy to track the development and production every week.
