Rivers and our WR

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Just saw where Brady is down in Tampa.  Since players can’t do face to face OTA I won’t be surprised if we hear about Rivers in Indy working with the WR before they are allowed to get together. Nothing is stopping them from throwing balls together.

I think there are currently NFL restrictions in place about players practicing together.    Certain things have to happen before players can practice together.   I don’t think that’s happened yet.

I could be wrong but I think that only applies to team sanctioned activities. I have seen a lot of our players working out on Ig with other players.  Leonard has even been going to a private gym.  I don’t think they can stop players hanging out with each other.

You may be right, but it’s not reassuring to hear players are working out together.   Flirting with danger.  Spitting into the wind.  It’s not rain.

I think it was Kevin Bowen on a podcast who said he expects them to probably get together. That can help bridge the gap until they can get together formally as a team.

I have zero problem with QBs throwing to WRs now on their own. Most athletes have bubble wrapped themselves if they're smart, so tossing a ball around is fine. If they have pre-existing conditions, then absolutely not, but most are pictures of health.

I agree.  In most instances, they can keep 'social distance' as well... no need for the ball to be hiked by the center.  If needed they could use multiple balls or sanitize balls between use (e.g., have a bucket of sanitizer and a couple of rags on the field and have the WR wipe the ball off before tossing back to the QB).  

 

And, as you said, the vast majority of these guys in the NFL are much healthier than the average population (surprise, surprise as they all have team dietitians and working out and keeping healthy is a major part of their livelihood).  The guys I'd be concerned about are those with pre-existing conditions (e.g., Cutler's not in the league anymore but he was diabetic, and several other players have heart or other conditions that have to be carefully monitored) and perhaps the OL and DL who are often pretty heavyset.

Yup, those guys tossing a few trash cans of balls is probably a lot less risky than going to the supermarket. As long as they're safe, and I would almost guarantee that Rivers is a safe guy. Shoot dangum darn it.

As long as they don’t do it in any local parks, lol

He's living in Jeter's house.  His back yard is probably bigger than that park!

 

This may be sacrilegious, but I'm rooting for Brady and the Bucs to have a great season.

meh, the receivers usually wear gloves and if they have to be less than 6 feet apart to throw and catch passes, they have bigger concerns. I mean, its not like JB is the one throwing the ball, Rivers can throw it farther than 6 feet.

exit door is on the right, drop your Colts fan club badge off with the guard on the way out

Hey, I also read TB12 and thought it was really good.

 

(Oh no, I just cut the arms off of my hoodie...I can feel the dark forces pulling me in!)

One more reason to practice social distancing.

Yeah...a QB working out with a few WRs shouldn't really be an issue. The "social distance" is built in.

 

I am sure there are athletes training and working out together as well. They just don't stop being professional athletes with rigorous routines.

I've been practicing it for years.  Or, more accurately, it's been practiced on me for years.

I have seen a lot of our guys on IG working outside on football fields with several other players. I hope Campbell is able to stay conditioned so his injury issues don’t continue this year.

But Rivers says to TY, "You have to be active for me to throw you the damn ball"!

Looks like Turay and Mathis aren’t social distancing lol. I love their relationship.
