Time off = weight lifting/watching film

I read a lil snipit today that Monday was the players day off, but most the team, showed up to lift weights and watch game film... Now, i knoW no employee likes to go to wrk on there day off... But since the pst 3 years this team has been wildly inconsistant, i'm wondering why players haven't done this in the past. Is it the coach's haven't suggested it in the past,or that most players just don't have the comment to put in the time?? Anyway here's to hoping it wrks out for the best.. and maby it will become a reg thing for this team....

 

Who knows... Players are lazy and diva these days and their bull**** Union props that up. Hopefully it's a sign of commitment... Some have more than others league wide, but it can't hurt right?

 

Some of these guys are pretty beat up Monday morning.

Any one remember the beginning of North Dallas Forty?

 

Being beat up has nothing to do with watching game film, and i think players are supposed to report to facilities on mondays anyway before they get the day off, so go ahead and kill 2 birds with 1 stone.... and i nve seen North Dallas Forty so no

 

Don't it's slow and boring with no real payoff....

I like older films, but this one was hard to make it through for me....

 

Tuesdays are the usual day off for most NFL teams playing Sunday or Monday. Teams that played Sunday will usually come in Monday throw some weight around and watch film. Teams playing Monday will report Wednesday. Teams playing Thursday will usually have Friday off. USUALLY.....However its always up to the HC to set the practice schedule.

 

I think it is a regular thing and we don't hear much about it that often because it's such a common practice, even on the scrub teams.

 

Yep. I very much doubt this is the first time it's ever happened...

By no means am I trying to start a conspiracy, but this quote by Beachum does make one wonder. Do they respect Tomlin and his opinion?

 

I would like to think that a vet told everyone to be there Monday read to lift if possible or study film because there is no room for mistakes now.

 

I don't think that partial quote has any negative connotation to Tomlin, but rather it was commentary on Beachum's commitment. He is definitely a hard worker on the team, so whether he was speaking for himself or the prevailing opinion of the team, we don't know. The fact that most of them showed up is great. No fault to the few that didn't, as we don't know what they may have been doing. As a fan, I'd rather see them working out than shooting commercials. If you recall during the playoffs of Ben's rookie year, he was in a bunch of commercials. He didn't play particularly well in those playoff games (thank God for the Jets' kicker). Could it have been because he was filming commercials instead of watching film? I don't know. But I like Beachum's commitment as do I like to hear that about the rest of the team.

 

Maybe the younger players are finally realizing that just wearing the black and gold doesn't make for automatic wins.

 

I read that the players get Monday's off after a victory.

 

articles like this always make me wonder who the players were that didn't show up

 

gotta love beachum. and you guys wondered what I saw in him. this. dedication and brains.
