I understand preseason, and the main reason for it, to be able to evaluate the young talent. But honestly why don't they just simply have more scrimages? or after the 1st two weeks of team drills and practice teams would be allowed to practice against each other with out the violent hits.

This points out to me part of the reason the 'reduce preseason' & increase the regular season argument is bogus; if the preseason is cut coaches will still need to evaluate their players in live contact. I appreciate your suggestion about practicing w/out hits, but don't know how well that can be done. Maybe there will actually be in season limits to full contact drills as part of a new deal, just as there are such limits for OTAs in the current deal.
