[QUOTE="net, post: 75484, member: 200"] Football is the most physically demanding of the professional sports. That is why they don't play it 9 months out of the year like baseball, or 8 months like basketball. The sport is brutal on bodies. Mike Holmgren had a much greater turnaround to do when he came in, sans the OTA's, and ran 9-7 that year. This is playtime. I think it's a near waste of time. Anything that is 'voluntary' is not important. These guys can run pass patterns in their jocks and socks until hell freezes over and they aren't going to get any better until the pads come on. Professionals know how to get prepared and if they don't, someone else will. This borders on nannyism by McCarthy. I suspect you will see more players opting out next year if he tries to do this again. Sherman only held about 10 calendar days of this nonsense. It does help the rookies and FA's, but really, is this going to help Brett Favre? Donald Driver? Nick Barnett? [/QUOTE]
