And the moral of the story..
At some point the philosophy will pay off...football is a game of inches.

Not too often you see a guy who's a freak athlete that's also intelligent enough to understand all the nutritional and mental aspects of a sport.

This man GETS IT. He is a pro football player, making millions, and he is doing what ever it takes to succeed. Impressive..........
I LOVE his thinking about eating whatever he wants to when he is through with football.Bpk likes this. -

I've said this before, if I'm GM, there's gonna be a new standard for anyone that my owner pays..
Some will say, well, your gonna miss out on a lot of good football players, and I'll say, but big picture, your guys will never reach their potential if that is their intellect level, and collectively I will sacrifice a bit of talent for team of men that train their bodies with intellect, I will make up those inches that wake speaks of in no time, I will outlast you in the fourth quarter, I will be more disciplined, smarter than you, our bodies will max out performance wise..
Now I know that's an extreme and I get that there should always be exceptions, but it certainly would be high in the priority list of any college picks or free agent pick ups..
I wouldn't of let john Jerry, Eric Steinbach or Tyson Clabo through the door..... Not a coincidence they all suck..The Rev, MikeHoncho and Bpk like this. -

You would think that the trainers would be cutting edge in this dept, but I'm not so sure that they are.I mean look at the news chip Kelly made by implementing just a few adjustments, like having all players drink a nutritional shake catered to their needs after every practice and cutting out a taco nite, or some other ridiculous nite..
Of course there has to be a balance, you can't expect everyone to eat grapes as a snack and clean food, but every person who gets paid by this company should have a program specifically designed for them, in season, offseason, and have a nutritionist and trainer that they have to report to consistently..
This isn't about being anal when it comes to health and fitness, it's about being anal in finding the edge to win football games, and imo, this is the best way to make up those inches..speed, speed, speed, everyone of our players that is not taking this part of their craft seriously, is slower than they should be. -
I'm surprised the Dolphins have such a small nutrition program.

Freak of nature or genetic freak, same difference..Wake has perfect genetics, best in the league, when you add what he does to take care of himself, it's crazy ceiling stuff. -

Yes, I also think it's about staying square to your opponent, not losing your advantage, outside or in, I think there is schematic leverage, not lose your contain, keep things to the inside, obviously offense is to do the opposite. -

I'm watchin hard knocks for the chiefs and Herm Edwards, it's an episode where he's welcoming his players to some run down dormitory where they will be holding camp, it shows the p,ayers rooms where it looks like a jail cell with a cheap mattress that is much too small for payers this size..Their thought process is, " oh yeah, we'll bond this group and make them tough" when in reality the show shows players where their feet are hanging off the bed, and complaining that they can't sleep in the cafeteria while their plate is filled with fried foods..
You would think someone at this level of business, with that much money being invested into players, they would realize how important a good nites sleep and proper nutrition would mean to a man in serious training and performance but noooooo, " it's gonna bond them and make them stronger", yet they complain and ***** when their players are practicing lethargically..lol

It's still happening today..
