Ongoing CBA discussions

[Defensewins]

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported tonight on NFL live that in the big Coaches and GM's meting today, they were told none of the coaching staffs or teams can do any class room work with their players until further notice. This really hurts the new coaches looking to implement a new system or playbook. No exceptions. They will be heavily fined. This is insane. There are something like 7 or 8 new head coaches or interim coaches that are now told they can not implement their new playbooks or schemes. They can not even meet with their player to talk about X's and O's.
There are also some teams like the Rams that have a new offensive coordinator and trying to install a new system and now can not.
What this tells me is the owners are set to have a work stopage. They want it and are preparing for it. It seems this closed doors meeting today where all of the coaches and GM's where in attendance, was about the possible work stoppage and to get them the ground rules.
Several of the panelists on the ESPn NFL Live show thought this was bordering on mean spirited by the owners and they are trying to stick it to the players.
The only thing the NFL will allow is rehab of injured players. That is it.
I am not sure why the owners would do this?
Maybe someone can give a good reason?
I am not sure how giving time to the weak teams with new coaches staffs to implement their new playbooks and do some class room work with the players is going to damage the labor talks for the owners? Anyone?
