Report date

[Cattle_Rancher]

I noticed some teams have their rookies report earlier than the vets but the Cowboys have them in on the same day. Why not bring in the rookies early for a little extra work? What are the rules on this? Why do some teams do it and some don’t? Why don’t all 30 teams not in the HOF game report on the same date?

Rules are under “Mid-July”.

Clubs are permitted to open preseason training camp for rookies beginning seven days prior to the club’s earliest permissible mandatory reporting date for veteran players. Veteran players other than quarterbacks or injured players may report to a club’s preseason training camp no earlier than 15 days prior to the club’s first scheduled preseason game or July 15, whichever is later.

Because this isn't a yet communist country where the teams aren't free to institute their own schedule.

The Cowboys used to do this. The rookies reported a2 to 3 days earlier.
I think since they went back to Oxnard, they stopped this. Probably a logistical thing. Could be the time involved or scheduling type of thing.

As well, they want even player on the same page at the same time. You have 6 to 10 draft picks, most of the time, 7. Another 10 UFFA's. What can they really prepare them for in a few extra days.

Could have fooled me, they have Dictator Goodell and his sidekick Mara running the league as if it was their own country.

It’s gonna get crazy soon.

Yep, sure is. And this this place too, well crazier. Or was that what you meant.

All of the above. Lol. Next thing you know it’s preseason.

And yet the teams are still free to set their own schedules on when to report. I'm not a fan what-so-ever of Roger the Clown, but when you cast aspersions at him for things he's not doing you make him a more sympathetic figure.

Chill, I was just making a joke at his BS power.

I applaud every effort to criticise Roger the Clown's grotesque accumulation of power. There are plenty of examples of this to choose from to go after without exaggerating.

Do you have a sense of humor?
I stated it was in jest. But yet you keep coming at me as if I was serious.

I was listening to NFL on sirus this am and they said bc of the practice restrictions under the new cbA that it takes players 3 years to get the experience they used to get in 1 year...

I've also heard this is partly leading to more injuries, poorer tackling and longer time to develop players

Does anybody know when the DC.com podcasts come back? They make my long commutes to and from work go much faster.

Roger the Clown is the embodiment of all that is most wrong with the NFL today. There is plenty to crtique him for without making things up. He's one clown I do not find funny.

I'm finding the 3 year learning curve,as compared to a single old school T.C. say, a CLIFF HARRIS or CHARLIE WATERS would've breezed thru, a bit hard to swallow personally,but no doubt some of these guys aren't prepared properly, and they go pushing it hard just to make the cut& invariably some hi-rev motors will spin a main bearing,,, I guess according to league rules these guys can't even herd up together in a city park to work on their craft as a unit in the off season.

Yeah it's tough...other thing too is that though the guys are in better over all shape with better training they aren't in better football shape to absorb the hits and violence of the game....ive read a decent amount where people say this is contributing to more injuries
