People see what they want from the pre-season. Some see Phillips as having a great couple of games and some say he was too small and didn't stand out. Depends on what you want to see I think.
The coaching staff also gets to see these guys in practice all week when we don't.
All this Eakin and Rooney bashing brings me back to last pre-season and the constant whining about Gudbranson. Luckily the coaching staff were actually there and saw something they could make work unlike all the internet GMs.
Honestly all the players trying for that spot have been pretty underwhelming. If they see something in Eakin and Rooney and it allows them to hold off for a bit until the dust settles and they can line up a trade I'm all for it.
