A month ago, Rosenfels had trouble simply jogging 10 minutes on a treadmill, his energy depleted by a blood infection that required three hospital stays in August and September when he was a member of the New York Giants. Any lingering effects?
“I’m not in the type of shape I’d like to be, but we all knew that would be the case,” he said. “I haven’t practiced since the middle of training camp and preseason. I’ve got a lot of work to do.”
The condition began with strep throat. “After a while, it started to hit me that I had something pretty serious. It was frustrating that it wasn’t clearing up, and I wasn’t improving like I normally have my entire life.”
One of the challenges, he said, is “this is one offense I don’t know. I’ve had a lot of coordinators, but I haven’t had Brian Daboll’s style of offense. It’s not like baseball, where you show up and play third base. Quarterbacks, you have to know everything: the line calls with the runs, the audible system. There’s a huge amount of information you have to learn.”
