Well, having worked for a former NFL player, I know they get 1 day per week off. It was traditionally Tuesday for most teams. Monday was for film review, recovery, watching tape on the next week's opponent, etc. (more for the coaches). I think if Miami plans on instituting practices with full pads; I believe teams are allowed 14 per season, then having a day off toward the end of the week helps players recover better.

Primary installation and game-prep is usually done in the first two full practices, so I don't see it being a big deal.

 

Maybe having that day off later in the week would allow them to stay fresh? Recover from their prior practice days so they can have their legs under them for Sunday?

 

Recovery closer to the next game, I like that.

 

Wish teams would be required to disclose when they practice in full pads.

 

:up:

 

.....why?

 

To see if there is any type of relationship between those practices and performance the following game.

 

I wouldn't like somebody messing with my boom-boom time...wonder how many NFL wives are gonna need to change the pool boy's schedule?

 

Eagles are doing this as well.

 

So would this schedule have anything to do with an up tempo offense? The Eagles are trying to run a very fast offense, and last year the Dolphins had appeared to be doing just that in TC with two scrimmage plays going back to back.
