What a stupid rule. This is football, not Girl Scouts.

===================
Definately. The Girl Scouts in my family don’t even stretch before they get on the field and play any type of game or activity. 3-day waiting is for wimps. So I agree, the Girl Scouts are a much tougher group and also know how to make excellent crafts.

Therefore, the argument can be made that he was only wearing a helmet & shells (shoulder pads).

So they want to punish a guy for wanting to get on the field too soon? This type of assinine thinking is just one more reason Adolph Hitler Goodall has to be kicked out the league.

Let the man go to work. Gzzzz

Uhhhh, it wasn’t Commissioner Goodell that mandated these work restrictions. The player representative asked for the easier work conditions. Blame Demoron Smith for all of this.

What nerdy Pittsburgh beat writer blew the lid on practicing w pads too early? John Clayton.

Rumors have it that it will probably cost the Seahawks a ___ and ___ round pick, and ____ to ____ game suspensions for at least a few players.

The only difference here is that Pete Carroll will not win any SBs or even division championships since he is not able to draft the top 10-15 players of every draft class like he did at USC.

Schwartz has mentioned it multiple times in the past week with Cliff Avril ending his hold-out and showing up to camp. I’m sure fellow coaches won’t like the fact that Seattle could get away with this.

Browner stepped up to jam him at the line, grabbed him by both shoulders, and threw him to the ground and jawed at him. Welcome to Seattle, b****!! Home of the biggest meanest ugliest secondary in the NFL.

I’m rooting for TO. He’s only got a few weeks to prove himself, and the Seahawks won’t be cutting him any slack. He’s been taking reps against the first-string secondary, that same unit that sent 4 dudes to the ProBowl last year. It would be hard enough to earn a spot against a middle-tier secondary at his age. If he can stand out and make some stuff happen, I will be extremely impressed. I can’t believe TO is finally the underdog and I’m actually rooting for him!

So they give Goodell full power to administer discipline as he sees fit for the opportunity to drag their feet for 3 days before practicing with a new team in full pads. Shrewd!!!

It’s a veritable certainty that this 3 day acclimation rule came from the players because they didn’t want to wear pads. There’s no way the owners put this conditioning period in place, as they’d have the players in full pads for every practice, OTA, and even team meeting if they had the choice!
