Default Should the NFL get rid of training camp?

Pat Kirwin thinks so as he spoke today on Sirius - He would like to see no training camp.

He says with all the GTAs and other workouts during the summer and the exhibition games they don't need TC just the one a day workouts as usual.

I like the idea as it seems more than ever that key players get injured with Hammys ect: during the TC.

Its a wild observation but an interesting one.

Your thoughts?

I think it is ridiculous.

Training camp is so toned down from what it used to be....it is now more of a few weeks of double practices rather than a training camp. But I do think those practices are very important to installing your system and getting physically prepared.

having players not ready because of a lack of training camp could cause more injuries. Ask the rookies if they think the offseason programs are enough to get them ready?

Stupid idea. Unless you play for a team like the Chiefs or Jets where the playbook is 2 pages long and changes once every 10 years.

TC is about learning the system - no F'n way our new guys learn Bill's system and no way the offensive guys (including the Vet's) learn the new offensive plays in Pre Season.

Whomever said that on the radio is out of their mind.

I thought it was a wacky idea but sounded good at that time,After thinking about it I realize its just crazy and will never happen.

Pat was saying the players are physically ready to play once the season begins but I don't know how you can say that about EVERY player when many are not as active in exercize as others in the offseason,No two players are alike in offseason training regiments and some need tough TC more than others.
