Saxum Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 5 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I “Get It”, it just seems really lame if the guys are allowed to be in the facility and receive treatment or train there, but they can’t have contact with coaches. I know the restrictions exist, and I understand why the restrictions exist, I’m just not sure it’s 100% to the players benefit. It appears to benefit union more. I wonder what would happen if a player told NFL and NFLPA in right-to-work state I do not want to part of union. There must be some players with anti-union tendancies especially when NFLPA supports players who hurt other players in violation of rules.

But he said he likes to go back to CA to visit family & friends & also he trains with Jordan Palmer in CA, he probably comes back late winter/early spring to start working out. He bought there? Dude....

I wouldn’t necessarily question his dedication any more in the offseason if he lived elsewhere. It’d be just something that’d sound real cool should he keep developing/progressing If you were him would you stay here or go to So. California? Yeah I thought so 1

Avocados “have a yucky texture” to her, so it’s Newport Beach she loves. (It could be Javier, but I doubt it, sort of....) We’ll never be able to afford the life we’d like there....but I should reserve judgement until I visit. I’m into living somewhere nice every day (like NOW), while she’s more interested in getting to the “finish line”. No guarantee I reach that, so I’m more “let’s be happy TODAY!” 1

Mango Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 7 hours ago, MR8 said: I don't disagree with you guys, and I could be wrong, as i said my understanding is the coaches aren't allowed to interact with the players or it's a CBA Violation, which is why the players go to outside QB coaches and facilities to work out... if they're at their team's facilities they aren't allowed to interact with the coaches so they're just doing it on their own, so why not go to a facility where they can work with trainers. It's always easier to work out with a trainer and other guys than by yourself. I am OK with a vast majority of the last CBA, EXCEPT this part. There is absolutely no reason why players shouldn’t be allowed to (or even required) to be in the teams facility working with coaches on things like film, weights, and walk throughs for 60%+ of the off season. There is 6 months from the Super Bowl to training camp. It would make the product much better. There is lno other elite sport (professional or Olympic) that gets this much time off from their professional team or NGB coaches. 1

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 7 hours ago, Utah John said: Allen is going to make the team next year, of course. A lot of guys can't be sure they will. Those are the guys the CBA protects/limits by denying them the opportunity to interact with coaches. If I'm one of four guys on the bubble for a position, and I know two of the others are training and talking to coaches every day, then I have to do it too to protect my interests. On the flip side, a player who could benefit from a coach's guidance during the offseason can't get that assistance. My view is, these guys don't have to go back home and get regular jobs in the offseason the way players back in the 60s did. There were stories about some of the championship Bills working in hardware stores or selling carpets in the offseason, just to make ends meet. So, since players today make so much money, why not let this be a full-time job, with year-round access to coaches and trainers. because union

But they do work in the off season they need to watch their diet and train to stay in shape and I would think most players do a lot of their charity work in the off season. Trust me watching what you eat and working out at the gym is tough....for me anyway...I struggle to stay motivated...I find it easier to do my job everyday Its just a bit different from our 9-5 grind

Players are not allowed to speak with coaches .... so hang a sign No Coaches Allowed I HATE THIS PART of the last CBA. I understand keeping contact to a minimum, especially given the size, speed, and strength of these guys in the NFL. I understand the body needs to heal after a very grueling season. But there’s no reason why these guys can’t or shouldn’t be with their teams SC coaches and coordinators working on 7v7, sleds, weights, mechanics, technique, getting stretched out etc. starting March or April 1, 6 days per week. Maybe they get a week off here and there in between.
