Jamborees or scrimmages?

So what are coaches really looking for tonight when a dozen or so teams take part in jamborees or scrimmages?
Because the reality is most teams go vanilla in these affairs, choosing to evaluate personnel more than gauge rhythm on offense.
No one wants to showcase an actually game plan, particularly with next week's opponent likely in the stands scouting.
 What I've noticed in past jamborees and scrimmages is someone that a coach may have not noticed during practice is a gamer. And there's always a starting job or two up for grabs.
 Often teams that struggled the previous year want to make an impression and build some confidence going into their season opener.
