And the two of us have all ready gone round and round - Stefan Diggs is not even on the same planet as Andre Reed. I guess his 1000 yard seasons did not help in the clutch the last half of 2023! Exactly, still a team sport and you need that! Great post! Team event with 35-40 guys that won't be on the final roster. Let me meet you half way. Should all veterans show up for OTAs? Yes it can't possibly hurt and it's only 3 days. Honestly if I was Diggs I would show up just so I didn't have to answer a question from a reporter as to why I didn't show up. Does it have any impact on how they play on the field? No. Absolutely zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry this has to be a generational thing! It is more about evolution and not generations. The same people that want 100% attendance at OTAs probably are the same ones that want two a day training camp practices. And still want four preseason games. And withhold water during camp to make real men out of them. In the past guys used training camp to get in shape. Now guys train all year round. Rarely if ever do guys show up not ready to play. I 100% agree with mandatory rookie camp and rookies should be mandated for OTAs. I just don't believe in the things that traditionalist believe in. College football at the highest level has no preseason. Yes a bunch of team play patsies week 1 but a bunch of top 25 teams play each other week 1 too. COVID year the quality of play was no different without preseason or OTAs.( I can't remember the exact number of events that got canceled or altered). It's easy to just want to do the same thing over and over. Change is hard. But it can be for the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is advocating two a day practices or with holding water - trust me I experienced water discipline in practice not theory. Who knows what the value is of OTAs, I sure don’t nor do you, we ain’t there or suiting up! It’s a very simple concept - be a team player not a diva! That is the driving point you keep side stepping!

Like I said attendance at OTA does not make you a team player nor does the absence make you a diva. And if you are going to say missing OTAs makes you a diva then call every player that skips them a diva. Have a nice holiday weekend!

muppy Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Mega millionaire WR wishes not to participate in an off season workout. The optics are he is above such a frivolous event. If I were signed to a big fat contract in a new city I think it's a really good show of commitment to show up for an OTA. I mean it is pertaining to his new team and not like he is rehabbing or coming off injury. I dunno. Not our problem. Cheers everybody.

nedboy7 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I would be quite annoyed if say Samuel skipped OTAs. Or any of the first year players who declined an opportunity to build chemistry with the new QB. If JA is there your ass better be there. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Majority of the league are at OTAs. Von Miller is a future first ballot hall of famer. He is at most OTAs. Yes, it is voluntary. Yes, Diggs works his ass off in the offseason. Wr is also a depended and timing position. Catching sessions on air are not the same as routes vs defenses. Just seems odd. Diggs is an Odd dude. I think he very much likes the attention from cryptic tweets, the attention of being the only guy not there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
