Le training camp vu par un obscur ancien pro :

Training camp takes fun away
By Alan Grant
Special to Page 2

Like most everything in life, the value of any thing lives in your perspective. And on the subject of NFL training camps, which I endured for six summers, I live with two valuable perspectives.

They're valuable to me, anyway.

First, the veteran's view: Training camp is a horrible time, a six-week period of hot, secluded monotony.

From this perspective, it's pointless.

It's especially pointless after the third week. This is normally after the first exhibition game has been played. After that game, though it's still preseason, the veteran's mind has already shifted into regular-season mode. He's ready to play football, not practice twice a day and sleep in a stupid, cinder block-walled college dorm room 6 feet away from another grown man.

By then, it is extremely difficult to manufacture the false enthusiasm required to get through the rest of camp. And that's what it takes: pretending to be excited.

But …

The rookie's view of camp is pure. It's full of the possibilities offered by the rite of passage into professional football. Sleep in a dorm? Why, of course. Where else would I sleep?

The rookie has too much on his mind to notice the drudgery of it all. While he toils in the heat and tries to apply all the stuff he learned at mini-camp, he's barreling toward something else. He's headed toward something he might not even know he wants -- and probably doesn't realize how much he wants -- until he gets it.

I'm talking about that moment in which he understands he belongs.

I remember my moment. It occurred in the first week of my first camp with the Indianapolis Colts. During a full-team contact session, I was playing cornerback and we were in cover two. I dropped into the flat and read the quarterback's eyes. When the quarterback locked in on receiver Jesse Hester, I took off.

The second the ball hit Hester's hands, I hit Hester.

The ball rolled toward the sideline, Hester dropped to the turf, and the place erupted. Linebacker Duane Bickett high-fived me, along with the rest of the secondary.

"That was perfect!" Bickett yelled.

It was perfect. It was a perfect moment. It was a moment of acceptance. I belonged. I had yet to play in a real game, let alone finish a full season. But at that instant, when the field was buzzing because of something I'd done, none of that other stuff mattered.

That one play, and the reaction that ensued, still counts as one of my most cherished memories in competitive sports.

But after that, I've gotta tell you: The rest of my training camps were awful experiences. The veteran's perspective took over. Every summer, I'd get depressed when the Fourth of July rolled around, because it meant that camp was coming. In fact, it was several years after I left the game before I could really enjoy the best day of the barbecue season.

The futility of it got to me the most. The prospect of going through the pain, the heat, and the angst about my shot at making the team -- it left me emotionally frazzled. It also made me feel stupid. Once you've proven you belong, the novelty of just being around football wears off quickly. And you need the novelty, don't you? You need it to keep you connected, as with anything in life.

At my final training camp, in the summer of '95 with the Redskins, I knew I was going to be cut, so I ignored the 11 p.m. bed-check and kicked it at a bar near campus. Better to knock a few back, I figured, than spend one extra second in that awful dorm room.

I was thinking about training camps as I attended the Marcus Williams-Bill Romanowski trial last spring. You'll recall that Williams sued Romanowski over an incident in the Raiders' training camp in 2002 in which Romanowski hit Williams in the face during a practice.

Here's what happened. It was Aug. 24, 2002, and former Raiders coach Bill Callahan had the team practicing in full pads, which meant full contact. And veterans never want full contact. They believe you hit people Sunday. Game day. Period.

Romanowski, who was in his 17th training camp, was in no mood to wear pads. In other words, he was in no mood to pretend. So he was annoyed. That could be part of the reason he hit Williams in the face. (Well, that and the possibility that he might have been hopped up on a synthetic hormone that could have unleashed a little more aggression than normal. We're talking about Bill Romanowski, after all.)

But mostly, he was annoyed.

That trial was compelling, for two reasons.

For one, I understood Romanowski's state of mind that day. I don't condone what he did, but I understood how it could happen in the hell of the training camp environment. Romanowski was a veteran.

But I also hurt for Williams -- not only because he got hit and hurt, but also because the incident kept him from ever getting his moment. Romanowski took it away from him.

Williams was one year removed from the Raiders' practice squad. Technically, he wasn't a rookie. But he wasn't a veteran, either, which placed him in a sort of football purgatory -- a limbo in which there is no solid ground. And when he fell to the ground from Romanowski's blow, he fell into oblivion.

In the heat of the moment, Romanowski snapped. And Williams' moment vanished forever.

It really was an unfortunate circumstance.

But, then, so is training camp.

That's my perspective.

Updating previous reports, the Seattle Times reports Seattle Seahawks RB Shaun Alexander and the team have reached a deal and he will indeed report to training camp on time and forego his previously promised holdout over dispute of his franchise tag.


Seahawks | Alexander Reporting
Tue, 26 Jul 2005 16:32:25 -0700

Adam Schefter, of the NFL Network, reports Seattle Seahawks RB Shaun Alexander has agreed to report for the start of training camp and sign his one-year franchise tender provided the team promises not to franchise him again after the year or trade him before his contract expires.

Ricky apologetic and still eccentric

Ricky Williams is back in a Dolphins uniform, and his teammates apparently accepted his apology for deserting them nearly a year ago.

BY ARMANDO SALGUERO
asalguero@herald.com

Ricky Williams is still quite different, and that is perhaps one reason he conducted a nationally televised press conference Monday while barefoot. But he has asked his Miami Dolphins teammates to forgive his hasty 2004 retirement, and they are apparently willing to accept him back -- eccentricities and all.

Rookie Wright cries at camp, then misses practice

DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins rookie Manuel Wright, who broke down in tears after he was chewed out by coach Nick Saban on Tuesday, missed Wednesday morning's practice to have his ailing back examined.

"The guy went to the doctor today. They wanted to check his back out," Saban said. "That's part of the issue. We have a protocol and procedure for how we do things around here and sometimes young players don't understand that."

Wright, taken in the fifth round of the NFL's supplemental draft earlier this month, left the practice field in tears Tuesday after being chastised by Saban, who took off his hat and pointed to his head while yelling at the former Southern California defensive tackle. Wright later returned and participated in practice on a limited basis.

"As I tell the players, we're going to try to help you in every way that we can be successful as you can be," Saban said. "But when you don't do things the way you're supposed to do them, we're going to confront and demand that you do it right. And that's what I did with him."

Wright was unavailable for comment either day, but Saban said the issue was over as far as he was concerned.

"He did what he was supposed to do, I did what I was supposed to do and nobody's mad at anybody, nobody's upset with anybody," Saban said. "It's all part of learning how to go about being a mature, competitive football player at this level. It's as simple as that."

Wright, a backup for USC last season and earned honorable mention all-conference recognition.

Saban said the 6-foot-6, 290-pounder is "probably not in as good of shape as he needs to be in."

S.Taylor ferai bien de s'en inspirer lui qui déteste la musculation (il fait le strict minimum) la gym et qui ne regarde jamais la moindre vidéo de match (il joue à l'instinct LOL)... d'ailleurs il n'a toujours pas regarder la vidéo qu'un assistant coach des redskins lui avait préparer (en fin de saison passée LOL) pour améliorer sa technique de tackle... bref il s'en tape

D'après le Dr Z la chance des joueurs actuels d'être au Hall of Fame.

Des choix incohérents pour certains quand je vois qu'il dit que Hines Ward a plus de chance que Moss, Holt et Bruce

Ensuite il cite pas mal de linemen dans le même lot Walter Jones, Alan Faneca, Jonathan Ogden, Willie Roaf, Will Shields, il ne fait en aucun cas allusion à Orlando Pace.

Ensuite on a droit au nom de Chad Pennington, de Charles Tillman et de Warren Sapp...

En fait ça doit être de voir Holt et Bruce si bas qui m'as fait chier.lol
Quand je les vois au même niveau qu'Eric Moulds ça fait mal...

Warren "QB Killa" Sapp, je pense que oui, c'est pas parce qu'il est pas top aujourd'hui, faut regarder sa carrière.
146 matchs 440 tackles 79.5 sacks 3 interceptions
7 probowls consécutifs, Defensif player of the year en 1999 4 allpro team consécutif 1 superbowl
Pendant plusieurs années, Sapp a été considére comme le meilleur DT de la ligue, je pense que ca sera récompensé...

il a aussi oublié Simeon Rice qui a passé la barre des 100 sacks

Ok c'est vrai que pour Warren Sapp c'est bon.
