For years, the NFL work week has gone like this.
Monday – come in and review tape of Sunday’s game
Tuesday – off
Wednesday – practice
Thursday – practice
Friday – practice
Saturday – light walk-through
Sunday – game
That is going to change under Chip Kelly.
Monday – off
Tuesday – practice (and I assume game review)
Wednesday – practice
Thursday – practice
Friday – practice
Saturday – up-tempo walk-through…”run-through”
Sunday – game
The players publicly say this isn’t a big deal. They may feel the same way privately. Heck, they may like having Mondays totally off, so that their bodies can recover.
We all know Chip Kelly makes his decisions based on reasons. He’s got some logic behind this. We’ll see if it works.
