Have to admit, I’m so over off season hype videos till they start playing better. Hope someone enjoys them.  

Agreed.  Major eye roll from me when I see these.

I’d like to hear what their S&C approach is...the videos do nothing for me.

Their approach hasn't given anybody Rhabdo so far so that's a positive.  But in seriousness I have read that this staff likes to focus more on explosive lifts vs. pure strength lifts ie. power cleans and such.  Also players like it thus far.

Same.  Years ago it was kinda neat I guess, but I'm over it.  Does nothing for me.  But it's great as long as others enjoy it.

Hopefully, the recruits and players like it.

More fast twitch development incorporated for speed and strength.

Callahan said they are now doing cleans and snatches whereas where under Duval they little to none of those 2 lifts.

Haha, Riley didn't push squats, Frost didn't clean or snare. I mean sometimes you gotta question the accuracy of these reports

Of course, anything new has got to be better than the old.

There may be some new ways to do somethings but there is no substitutes for WORK (hard, strenuous, exhausting, physically demanding work).  
 

Players who don’t have what it takes (heart, desire, guts, determination, willpower etc) should leave now.  No more ‘partipation medals’ for showing up and being on the team.  This is no longer amateur games for fun.  This is real pro ball. The players wanted to be paid for their efforts. They got their wish.  Now, the free college education is replaced by a hard job that a lot competitors will try to take away.  In the end, some players will like pay for play. Others will not.  Some will benefit and some will not.  
 

I’m not sure that the NFL will appreciate the competition.  It’s possible some stay at the college level for their careers.

It's a bit more complex. There's the exercises done. How they're done. Techniques. Flexibility training. Timing, schedules. Recovery time. Strength vs. Endurance. Developing routines unique to the position and individual player. Nutrition. I get your point. WORK is indeed necessary. The commitment. The willingness to do it over and over. To start and keep going. Doing it even when one doesn't want to. 

It's just that I've witnessed people not very efficient in their training doing counter productive things working very hard.  Sometimes too hard and then not taking care of themselves doing foolish things. There's a great many things to consider that maximize one's efforts. Oftentimes it's not the interest or lack of drive but ignorance, not being aware that there are other, more effective ways of accomplishing what one wants to achieve. The NFL appreciates discipline. It's one of the main things that they're looking for.
