Vike's Worn out by genius Childress

Ok, I called this in a letter to Sid Hartman about a month ago (we can check the archives), Childress' brutal training camp has killed the players and their season start.

I lamented this 2 months ago, a brutal training camp cripples a team.

Think about this, former NFL players turned coaches like Bud Grant & Mike Tice, had light physical camps to preserve players strength during the season.

Now, on the opposite side, which coaches have punishing training camps?

Yes, former non NFL players Les Steckle and Brad Childress.

Only someone who hasn't gone through the NFL Pre-season grind, would batter his players in training camp.

I thought it most interesting, that last weekend Strib columnist Pat Reusse interviewed wide out Troy Williamson, who said he drops balls because he loses focus when he gets tired.

Week 6, people are tired?

Only if their misguided coach worked them to near death in training camp.

Tell me it wasn't a coincidence that after their bye week, and some rest- finally, that they blow out the Seahawks.

Who wants to stand-up now and support Childress' boot camp training camp?

The mentally weak will never ever understand what makes the mentally strong become physically strong.

Childress is lucky though, he has 2x the talent Steckel had in '94.
