Coach is right about this one... League needs to listen ....

I agree too. There's a reason the quality of play is so bad early in the season.

Hard to argue with that. Seems like there's always major injuries and lackluster play (at least on offense) early on in the season while players struggle to get in rhythm and football shape. I think BB and PC (I know PC for sure) have both been penalized in the past for earlier workouts than usual?

 

[eaglesnut]

Good.

Quality of the games early on is shit.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Definitely a good idea. Not only from a football conditioning and preparation standpoint but the mental side of things too. Maybe avoid some of these off field incidents if they are working on football.

Would the players ever agree to it?

League offices, or NFLPA? Because more time off was a Union thing... not a league thing. And we wonder why they're so soft.

100 % for more off season practice.

The NFLPA routinely bends over and takes it from the league, why would that stop now?

It will probably be a bargaining chip in the upcoming CBA negotiations. If the NFL wants more off-season player time, they're going to have to give the Players Association something substantial in return.

It will never happen, players association will shut it done in a heart beat...

 

[Pattersonca65]

I totally agree. While I can understand not wanting to have players put on full pads and hit each other throughout the offseason, not letting players talk to the coaching staff during the offseason is ridiculous. Nothing wrong with meetings and some non contact work.

Football players are soft?

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Football players are soft?

Yes. When it comes to offseason and stuff. Absolutely.

 

[Judge Fudge]

Sounds like a good idea but is too good
