Grits and Shins Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 My local high school team practices longer, harder and more than the NFL players. With NFL players dropping like flies you have to start believing that the more gentle practice schedule in the NFL is producting softer less conditioned athletes that are more susceptible to injuries ...

Butkus Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I'm with you Grits. A guy injures himself celebrating and you know conditioning ain't too good. It also doesn't help when helmets keep flying off all over the place Waiting for a guy to get his faced smashed in. What' up with the loose helmets this year?

bud29 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Ravens lose week of OTAs due to violating offseason practice rules The Ravens put rookies and first-year players in pads for a five-minute period at a recent rookie minicamp, according to a team source. But the NFL believed the Ravens were aware of noncontact practice rules and still moved forward, which will factor into any potential discipline, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The current collective bargaining agreement has been in effect since 2011.This marked the second time in six years that the NFL would punish the Ravens for violating offseason rules. In 2010, Baltimore had to cancel the final week of OTAs -- which amounted to two special teams practices -- after six players complained to the players' union about late meetings and two others reported being held too long on the field after practice. This punishment was similar to what the Seattle Seahawks received in 2014, when the team and coach Pete Carroll were collectively fined $300,000 ($200,000 for the team and $100,000 for Carroll) and the Seahawks lost two days of mandatory minicamp for violating non-contact rules in the offseason.
