That's two out of five days. I hope they are at least in the film room. Eason needs the work.

NFLPA and NFL agreement limits number of practices by type and how many rest days during training camp. And even during the rest of the year. Basically it’s the same for every team.

They are allowed to have a couple days off right? Lol

 

But seriously, their bodies need that rest. I wouldn’t be made (mad) at film room until the regular season. Can’t afford for any more started (starters) to get hurt.

This must be why there are so many more soft tissue injuries these days. Players getting soft.

When I was in camp, we two a days for two weeks. One day off.

When I was in camp we had two a days and weren't allowed to drink water during practice.

 

Coaches learn from mistakes made in the past, thank goodness.

High school or college? Oh right, this is the NFL. I ran two-a-days too in high school but at a much lower level of football. The pros are pros because they’re stronger and faster than everyone else. Strong bodies against strong bodies can cause injury and we’ve seen that. Maybe you should check your ego, honest answer to your thread in general

I would fathom a guess some of them aren't taking the day completely off.   Gives some a chance to do their own workout routine and eat some different food.  They haven't even been with pads but two days and I've heard the practices are not gaudy (In Reich fashion).  And they are probably nose-in playbook as well and studying Panther film.

There is a football game tonight.:cheer2:

Everyone get excited before preseason (and this is especially true with the HOF Game) only to remember that it isn’t really football, but televised practice and isn’t really all that compelling to watch.

 

It is *technically* football, but ultimately it’s always disappointing. :(

They are still frail compared to players in the past. 

 

They're bigger, faster, and know how to take care of their bodies a lot better.  You can call that being frail, but when they're older they'll be in a lot better shape to enjoy the fruits of their labor.  I call that being smart.

Look how many of our players are hurt already. They haven’t even put the pads on yet.

Saying that players were tougher in the past is hilarious. Comparing impacts between players that are generally 20-30 pounds heavier now to players of the past, and who now are considerably faster.........is like saying that a lightweight boxer delivers the same punch that a middleweight boxer does.

 

Except when you compare a 210 pound LB meeting a 180-90 pound running back......to a 245 pound LB meeting a 210-20 pound RB..........the difference is massive. That does not even take in the fact that both positions are faster today.

Players also get hurt working out in the office-season long before they out on pads.  That doesn’t make them soft.  They’re doing serious physical activities and staff happens. 
 

This is not about who is soft and who isn’t….

Don’t think we have any linebackers the size of a Ray Lewis, Brian Urlaucher, Junior Seau. We had Leonard playing at about 215lbs last year. He said so himself.

    • I got mad the night they took Dorsett and I still get mad when I think about.  Look at all the good players he passed on for him.  I wanted Xavier Rhodes in that draft and they could have had him…
    • Grigson didn’t hit on another high draft pick until Ryan Kelly after Hilton.  Just goes to speak about how good Andrew Luck was that those teams were as good as they were until Luck literally feel apart from carrying the team on his shoulders.  
    • Irsay or no other pro-sports owner is strapped for cash.  Look at the lifestyles they live.  These guys are swimming in money Scrooge McDuck style.  They like to get you to think that they are so that they have to pay for less things like the a new stadium and give them friendly tax breaks but they aren’t.  These guys are super rich even the small market teams like the Colts.  If you want to think they are strapped for cash go a head but we are going to agree to disagree.  
    • I agree. I cannot recall who else he drafted in 2015 but I could not understand why he drafted the WR out of Miami at #29 that year.
    • If I may….    I’ll share some information that I’ve had for about 4 months.   It may or may not surprise you.  This is what I tried to send you the other night but somehow screwed up.      These are the big signing bonuses the Colts have given out over the years when the players 2nd contract came around:  this is from Spotrac.    Nelson:   $31m Leonard:  $20m Smith:      $15m Taylor:      $10.24m Stewart:    $5m      BUT…..    I also found this….   *** When Ballard signed Buckner to 4/84 his SB was 0. *** When Ballard signed Kelly to 4/50 his signing bonus was 0. *** When Ballard signed Moore to 4/33 his signing bonus was 0.  *** When Ballard signed MAC to 3/19 his SB was 0.    To be clear, no agent lets their client sign a deal like this out of the goodness of their heart to help the team.  I think it stands to reason they get something in return.  And I think it’s a higher amount of guaranteed money.  That’s money the player would get even if the team cut the player before the contract was done.   Guaranteeing a higher percentage of money doesn’t cost the Colts anything if the team is confident the player will be in the roster for the life of the contract.    I view this as a sign of a small market team.   The Colts wanted to do this.  It’s to their advantage.  I’m not blaming the Colts for doing this, I think it’s smart business.  But I think it’s a sign that from time to time, Irsay needs a little help so he doesn’t have to write a large check.     This is my view.   I welcome input from all.    @w87r   @Superman  @GoColts8818
