The heat of camp

dat dam dog said

Good question, and I don't have an answer,

But I am a firm believer that solid conditioning relates to several things.

Less injuries.

Stamina late in the season when players, especially big men, start to fade.

Confidence. If we can play hard in that heat, the dome is a cakewalk.

I doubt that 'real preparation' will be missed, but conditioning needs to come first. And the summer Mississippi heat will do the trick.

Just my opinion, of course.

well take last year's results and apply them.

Injuries were up

Big men had no displayed edge. Judging by some of the late season losses (Tampa, Eagles, Bears) the big men were less effective than the man from across the LOS

The dome seems to be a cake walk for any opposing QB and his posse and we still have a losing record there.

The real preparation was nowhere to be seen in the first 4 games of the season. In fact, they looked and sounded woefully unprepared for games 1-3.

They might have been conditioned to stand up to extreme heat (maybe not so effective either) but they have much of nothing good to show for the Mississippi heat other than water park pics--- and injuries.

At any rate, this appears as if it's not going away so the new guys better be ready for hellish conditions.
