This is like deja vu all over again, every year a player or two allegedly does not pass the conditioning test, and eventually shows up on the field and we forget quickly that he failed the conditioning test..
But we never really know if he actually failed the conditioning test.. maybe BB will be forthcoming in tomorrow's presser.
not uphill. Only the field.Uphill both ways?
BB 7/31/2005 Press conference schedule
- Spend 5 minutes laying out precisely how I feel about Deflategate
- Spend 3 minutes explaining every failure of the conditioning test
- Spend 8 minutes detailing every injury that lingered into the offseason
- Spend 25 minutes answering every reporter's questions in vivid detail
I believe the conditioning test goes something like this:
20 sprints with thirty seconds rest after each sprint, with the exception being 1 minute after the 10th one. (Assuming to simulate halftime)
Linemen: 40 yards/under 6 seconds
LB, FB, QB, P, K, TE: 50 yards/under 7 seconds
DB, WR, RB: 60 yards/under 8 seconds
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.
I'm actually a college receiver. No I'm not 250. I'm also certainly not 160You: 5'5", 160 pounds
Blount: 6'0", 250 pounds

i won't go I to all the specifics, but our test is longer than 50 yards and more than 20 reps. This coming from a d3 college. He's an nfl running back

i know. I'm not saying I'm a better athlete. sorry for bringing myself into this.250 lb RB v. 200 lb RB = Big difference

my point was that i am no where close to being a starter in the nfl. he has 500 pounds on me. that's a big deal. but these guys should be wayyyy more capable than me.
my point is just that if football is your job and you have a reasonable conditioning test, it doesn't seem like you should fail it
wait what? i was actually totally unaware of this. had of course heard about donta's surgery but not about blount.Unless you're, I dunno, still recovering from surgery.
