Ravens Ring of Honor
OK, so they're not able to recover in the "normal" timeline either, but we're concerned about being able to recover on the one week a year that some teams get a shortened week, which is immediately followed, almost exclusively, by a longer week? Again... really tough reconciliation.That isn't the point and you are totally missing the point .... again. Sunday or Monday to Sunday atleast gives players more recovery time or the normal recovery time that would allow for standard practice and preparation instead of a series of walkthroughs as they do for TNF. No their bodies won't fully recover until the offseason. r
Where in the hell did I say that. I never said 7 days was plenty, not even once did I say that or even imply that. I don't appreciate you putting words in my mouth. It does give the players a chance to rest, the normal amount of time and as I said above not just have walkthroughs like teams do nowadays. I also never said TNF was going away as you tried to say in your earlier point a few days ago, but Sundays are absolutely never going away.
Either I want them at their best or I take what they give me. There's really no middle ground. I'm not getting them at their best every Thursday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday anyway. Until I see players keeling over and sustaining long term injuries at a higher rate on Thursdays than normal days (which the data doesn't really support at the moment), then I don't really care if I'm getting them at their best or "most healed" or not.
And clearly, the players don't really care about it either. They spend more times publicly complaining about not being able to have unlimited marijuana usage than they do about player safety.
The players stance on these issues, quite frankly, has always been not-just-a-little-ignorant for me.
They're pro player safety, and yet, they're also pro:
1. Being able to hit QBs more and later
2. Being able to be more physical with receivers
3. Want the refs to throw less penalty flags and allow more "physical play"
A little "odd"...
