OTA's

what do you do to a player that files a report saying we are working too hard?

It's their collectively bargained right to limit offseason practices.

Don't think for a minute that this or the Ravens story isn't closely related to the Players' Association looking for leverage in the next CBA.

It is sad that an athelete, supposedly in peak condition, files a complaint instead of just busting his butt for 2 more days. :(

It is sad a team feels the need to break rules

If you're under contract for a company, and they have in writing that as part of your contract they will not force you to work during a certain period, and then they force you to do it anyway, wouldn't you cry foul?

All I saw in this article was "tempo and intensity of the workout". If they were forced to work extra hours then sure I could see a complaint being filed, but not over the tempo... How the heck can you even determine that?

Increased tempo and intensity = greater injury risk. So what happens if a player tears a muscle that wouldn't have been at risk by going at a slower pace.

reminds me of the Bryan Stewart issue with the Cowboys and I think that hurt his standing with the players

Yeah, I get your point and agree, but tempo just seems subjective to me. I guess if the teams were stupid enough to agree to it then they should abide by it.

I wonder if these are the only teams doing this or are they the only ones with a disgruntled player.
