Dr. says Alex Anzalone had six weeks off and had “fresh legs” after not playing for six weeks.

Dan’s approach to the bye week is interesting. He said the approach is to keep the engine running for the guys, but put the engine “in idle.” He said its important that the players do not “turn the engine off.”
When he described this week, it sounded like we were going to come into it like any other week. The only difference is we didn’t have an opponent to prepare for. We would even have a physical session in pads. That would keep the players in their routines and locked in on football. Then at the very end of the week the players would get 3 days off leading into next week. Then its time to go at it again, but with an opponent to prepare for.
Dan also said he is not going to have his coaches do deep preparation for potential opponents. He said he would rather let them relax their brains to be fresh for preparing for the real opponent once they are known.

It’s not a 70mph collision, doc.
Witherspoon would disagree with you on that when he met Monty

No idea what the doc said… But Anzalone looked fresh last week. Arm injuries over leg injuries please and thank you 
That’s my Hutch concern… So hard to get in shape with a snapped leg

The collisions are brutal for sure. 40mph collisions are no joke. Just found it odd that the expert was that imprecise.

I think the same thing everytime I look at the weather channel.
Take yesterday and the day before, for instance. Zero snow forecasted.
It snowed (lightly both days, almost nonstop), and I wound up shoveling this morning.
They don’t make experts like they used to.
On the st brown pod anzalone was saying his arm was killing him after the game…that was expected…but it was rough.

Dan was joking when he mentioned the physical practice in pads.
He went on to say that it would be a full padless practice and next week would be normal routine.
Everyone in the room took him serious at first about the padded practice and he had to correct because no one thought he was joking.
