... The drill shouldn't be done....and this from someone who played for 16 years and loved the drill. It proves nothing. I think that the way that the team currently uses it is just about perfect. Like you stated, a professional football player isn't really going to learn or develop a lot of necessary skills in the drill, but the organization uses it to not only make a statement to the team that full contact has started, but they also use it to involve the fans and provide a spectacle. If they did the drill all night, then I think that it's a waste of time, but the way that they do it, to signal the start of full pads practice, is pretty cool.
Go heavy early.
You do not maintain perfection, you work for it everyday.

Absolutely...even though it proves nothing, the fans look forward to it (and probably the players). It's a tradition that Jack has established and there's absolutely nothing wrong with a fun, fan-friendly Jaguar tradition that proves nothing.
Either write something worth reading, or do something worth writing.

| | So the Oklahoma drill has no real value in regards to improving a player's attributes? |

However, the way the Jaguars use it, it's an outstanding tool to inject energy into the camp and get players to work harder in general. |

| | Anybody remember what happened the last time Landri was involved in an Oklahoma? Not so pretty.

Boy, has he improved since then. I wouldn't mind seeing him in the drill again this year.
I always come to my conclusions by careful, scientific observation.
But only if the results of said careful, scientific observation fully corroborate my biased opinion. If It Ain't Dutch, It Ain't Much
