I've always understood the purpose of it is to see how the defense is 
going to react to specific plays, different formations, etc. It's supposed 
to allow us to adjust, play calling, and how we play offense or take 
advantage of the defense the rest of the game. It also allows the 
backfield to "settle in" to the game. 

It's driving me nuts, if that's what's going on.
