Who else failed conditioning test? - New England Patriots Forums

Ty Warren failed his conditioning test and his physical. After being released, he said others failed their tests as well. Wonder who those players might be?

Cannon?
Crumpler?
Hernandez?
Brace?

Anybody have an idea what this conditioning test consists of?

Here is a link to the conditioning test Ted Bruschi used to have to perform: Tedy Bruschi and Mike Reiss break down the New England Patriots heading into training camp - ESPN Boston

"Tedy: My test was three sets of ten 50-yard sprints. You had to complete each sprint in seven seconds, and you had 30 seconds in between each sprint. In between the three sets of ten 50-yard sprints, you got a break of three minutes."

That amounts to running a mile in about 20 minutes, which is pretty leisurely but it is done in sprint bursts which are not all out but are not jogs either. It really seems a test of maintaining the right pace during the sprints so you don't gas yourself early.

I imagine this test must be different from player to player though; an athletic athlete such as hernandez should have no problem with this. For the fatties on the other hand, this might be a monumental challenge.

The tests differ by position.

He failed his physical too?

Rapoport just tweeted:

Quote:

Patriots reported to the league that Ty Warren failed his physical. Warren said a hammy kept him out of conditioning run. Same thing?

Quote:

The Patriots also reported to the league that TE Alge Crumpler failed a physical. Same with Stroud, Kaczur, Tony Carter and TBanta-Cain

So there are the answers

So if it's true as someone posted that Stroud, Kazcur, Tony Carther, TBC, and Ty Warren
all failed their physicals, does that mean that the Patriots cut players who were injured, or just who couldn't pass the conditioning drill? Stroud, Kazcur, TBC, and Warren we know were previously injured at one level or another.

Brings me to my question: I thought under the old rules, you couldn't cut players who were hurt, unless you came to a financial agreement with them. Have the rules changed?
Anybody know?
