pm73 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 so has the team made an official announcement yet on who will be taking his spot? are they keeping roll on as S&C coach and not having the "administrator" position that jones had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Honestly, I think this team has far larger issues that who the Strength & Conditioning coach is. 228581[/snapback] yeah, like getting new uniforms, or going back to the old ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 yeah, like getting new uniforms, or going back to the old ones 228708[/snapback] I was thinking about resigning our couple of free agents, gaining some youth in the defensive line and linebacking corps...but whatever works.

Steven in MD Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 maybe he thought the Bears had potential, and with a good strength and conditioning coach could win it all....basically he was fired, but Ralph kept him on. He found a new job and left the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark VI Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I just don't see why this is a big concern/story. The guy who Mularkey hired had a different style. That's basically it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark VI Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 They must have a HOF for everything . I read the new hire, Roll, is in the Strength and Conditioning HOF. No joke. Jones ideal was conditioning, endurance. A more lean player. Worked well with the no-huddle type offensive players. Lineman were smaller, quicker. Roll likes his guys bigger and stronger. Likes his lineman to look like the old Redskin Hogs, who just outsized and overpowered their opponents. That's probably a fair example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably a fair example. 228810[/snapback] The no huddle era Bills lineman were probably among the NFL top 10 for overall size (save for Ritcher and fina who were smaller framed guys who pumped the iron like mothers to keep the weight on). S&C practices are fairly uniform on the pro even college level. Have the athlete strong/lean enough to fulfill the demands of his position and or scheme. Explosive lifting (O lifts, Bands), training for maximum strength (deads/squats), plyos, sprinting, restorative stretching etc. Most of these guys on the pro level are genetic freaks and can succeed in spite of slight training variations. Interesting enough, the Hogs were successful despite using a low volume non explosive training method (HIT). The practice is generally thought to be ineffective for developing the strength properties needed for football. So were the Hogs successful in spite of their conditioning approach? Penn State is another program that uses HIT, and some believe lack of proper football conditioning contributes their recent woes. I really doubt the Bills switch had much to do with conditioning program and more to do with MM's relationship with Roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
