without the offensive firepower of veteran    that    has    a
drastically new look for 1993.
"It will be a good measuring stick." said
Jets' general manager Dick Steinberg. "The
Redskins run the ball well and it will show us
something if we do well against them."
This scrimmage is the fifth NFL preseason exhibition at Lehigh in as many years
and the fourth time that
the Redskins and Jets
have participated in
what has become a
mid-summer tradition
in the Lehigh Valley.
"We're very
pleased that the NFL
is coming back to
Lehigh University and
Goodman Stadium."
said Lehigh Director
of Facilities Greg
Schulze. "This
scrimmage gives the
people of the Lehigh
Valley an opportunity
to see professional
football in a much
more relaxed
atmosphere."
Yet the weekend
scrimmage is also a
treat for the players.
"Training camp gets tedious for the
players so anytime you work against foreign
opposing players you pick it up a notch or
two." said Steinberg. "It lets the players get
their technique and intensity down and is a
good experience for the younger players."
