Twitter: Captain workouts underway at the Star

[bigE79]

What exactly does a "captain workout" entail?

They talk about all the money their making..lol

 

[Risen Star]

Maybe they are organized by the captains (leaders) of the team instead of the team itself because of the collective bargaining agreement. Don't believe the team can force the players to work out this time of year, but the "captains" can highly encourage it.

But we don't have captains. We've gone the woke, orange wedges, everyone is a captain and therefore special approach.

yep, next, we will see captain inaccurate picking up drinkie cups after practice, then picking them up again after he misses the trash can.

LOL!
Exactly.
I said it in a different post.

Can't build a champion to save his life but man can he sell!

The boy can can flat out sell I tell ya.

Not sure if you've dealt with narcissists personally and closely.

They can be quite charming.

It's common enough where I'm sure most folks have had to endure that in some way.

There's a significant difference between last offseason and this offseason with regard to Prescott's training. Instead of rehabbing his leg to be able to play, he can focus on QB stuff. I expect him to some a noticeable improvement from last season.

My 3 a day works outs in high school would put these guys to shame....

League is full of softies....

Got a good idea...1/2 these guys are complaining about having to show up for these glorified photo shoots.

Yep,
background in human behavior. I've seen it.

That's really it...

My point is if this was a thread of them yucking it up on a yacht in the bahamas somewhere, the tone of 80% of the posts would still be the same. lol

As suppose that I have a different definition of work ethic and leadership that you...or your phony "80%".
"voluntary"....as a pro athlete? While I am not sure *I* would have some specific tone if they were in the Bahamas....I am certainly not terrible impressed they are...Oooh wait for it...WORKING OUT! I would expect them to....voluntary or not. Commitment...leadership. "Captains". THIS...is the bare minimum.

We;re talking VERY well paid athletes already "off" for what? 2 months?

Good to see them working out....but it's not some impressive game changer.

But who said it was an impressive game changer, sign of leadership, or anything? Not a single poster in this thread even suggested it. I posted the original tweets and made no commentary, which is what I do.

I commented on the tone to another poster, because I agreed with him they're just doing their job, but the level of snark would be the same regardless. Tis the season for it.

I don't think it's actual captains. It just means the players are heading it. Therefore the ones considered to be the leaders of the team, such as Prescott, Lawrence and Smith. What we going to call it? Everybody's a captain workouts?

 

[Captain-Crash]

go dak

 

[Dre11]

But if they WEREN'T working out. If there WEREN'T videos et al, then their bums. And if they DARE go on a vacation, then blasphemy... lol

Players can't win in the offseason...

Lol so true

 

[conner01]

The off season is a great time to build relationships and trust....good for them!!

Very important

 

[conner01]

So are you saying I should be impressed they are going to their jobs?

It’s not part of their jobs but you know that
How often do you do your job off the clock because that’s basically what they are doing

 

[RonnieT24]

What exactly does a "captain workout" entail?

It means they are organized and led by players and no coaches can be directly involved per league rules.

 

[The Fonz]

Surprised they have not signed a sponsor for this event. Park Place Lexus Captain's workout's at the Star.

Captain Kangaroo or Captain Obvious are better in this case

 

[Joe Realist]

I have no idea what a captain workout is.

 

[75boyz]

They must be serious this year! I bet no other team does this.

Totally man. This year just feels different, LOL!

Time to fire up the Bull Pen.
