Gray or Gaffney could pull a BJGE this year.
It also pisses me off that players are getting to paid more to do less every year.,....and they STILL whine about it. Listening to them whine, I doubt many would be able to make it through an "old school" NFL TC. And so the old man rant ends.
BTW- one of my biggest concerns about this year's team is that they won't be practicing with any other teams this pre-season.
Blount fan here but how in heaven can you not arrive able to pass the conditioning test? It's your job & career that is at serious risk.

Bottom line, this lack of practice and the lack of intensity within the practice is harming the quality of the game. As far as quality goes, its almost like the first 4 games of the regular season are nothing but a continuation of the pre-season.

Your post was good until you went into the bolded parts. Nobody deserves anything. Anywhere. Ever. You get what you negotiate and I'd much rather the players relatively get more money than all the growth in NFL revenue over the last 40 years going solely to the owners.
Blount could be on the bubble if the youngsters step up.@BenVolin: Heard that LeGarrette Blount didnt pass the conditioning test yesterday. Had to run 20 sprints of 50 yards under 8 seconds each, only did 12

Not surprised that Blount failed the conditioning test, and I won't be surprised if he fails to make the roster. One of the worst starting RBs in the league, but fans around here have become content with mediocrity at that position. Let's hope Bill hasn't.
