I vote for moving training camp back to Carlye or Frsotburgh - anywhere but Redskin Park. I also think they should move the camp up and not to the last day possible like they did this year. We see the results of having a cup cake camp and what it has done to the team. We can't tackle, noone trusts eachother on defense, we are committing way too many penalties - I can go on and on.
To me it seems simple - since our players proved they need the extra work they need to get training camp as early as possible and away from the players homes where there are too many distractions. Also I would not say the voluntary workouts are the same. If the veterans complain that they need the rest and a long training camp is counterproductive, I think the coaches need to make some examples out of them and stop coddling them.
One thing I loved about Marty was that he prepared the players to play hard nosed, smart football. Yes they lost there first 5 games that year, but if Snyder had any patience he would have seen that they went on a tear the last 5 games and were on there way to being a good team the next year - look at the Chargers for goodness sake. What I loved about Marty's preparation was that noone was going to be given their starting job - they had to earn it in camp and practice and he put the best players in - it was great to see Deion say no mas before even trying to practice under Marty.
