Adam Gase on Labor rules limitations, what can be done in camp

[DKphin]

Dolphins coach Adam Gase notes that everyone must work under the same restrictions. But he also points out a disadvantage teams such as Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Houston, Dallas and Arizona must deal with: weather.
It's a fair point.
“Down here it's different,” Gase said. “We probably have shorter practices than most teams in the league because we have to think it's July to December, right? We've got to maximize the time we're on the field, and then when we get in the meeting rooms, we have to understand you can't waste time in there.
“We have to use the fact that we are going to have more meeting times than most people because we're not on the field as much, and we've got to make those count. It can't just be going through the motions.”

I'm cool and dry in my house as i type this post, therefore weather isn't a problem.

Get back out there!

Without having to check I can tell Gase was born up North. Try playing high school football in South Florida with zero restrictions and two-a-days over the Summer. They'll manage.

I remember going to camp when the temp was 90 and the humidity was like 75%. We only had like 1 break for water.

Didn't Shula, when he took over in '70, have four a day practices?

They could just use lights and start practice at 5:00 A:M. Getting up early isn't the end of the world some people think it is; especially when it is just for a few
weeks.

If they can't handle 82 with little or no direct sunlight they need to play an indoor sport or get a real job.

So you would, of course, have few qualms about putting yourself through the same rigors those professional athletes endure on a regular basis, no?

As well, i'd love to hear how their contribution to a tens of billion dollar industry doesn't constitute "job".
