Yes, I expect my coach to tell my professional players to warm up. Just like during my entire football experience. I also expect my strength and conditioning coaches to tell my professional athletes how to improve their fitness... why? because they are professional football players!

AGAIN.... WHY would Rizzi make them mandatory... and the answer was to combat injuries. That is the literal answer to the question. Not a bunch of bull sheet about treating them like puppies.

Are you dense enough to think that DA did not tell them to warm up? That's why there is a portion of practice and pre game dedicated to warm up
Do you also not think that the strength and conditioning coaches are not telling them these things
I like Rizzi but he's doing a lot of things just for shake-up effect. To try and make them do things differently. Believe me just because warm-ups were not voluntary does not mean that players were just standing around and not stretching. Soft tissue injuries around the league are up, must be because HC's are not making warm-ups mandatory
