Message: [QUOTE="Son of Robert, post: 2354021, member: 7415"] Everything Fishy said but also,.... this first practice is designed to push individuals to their limits both physically and mentally. The rebounding drill especially is extremely physical, very contact oriented. Yes Alterique is 100% cleared to play and has been for awhile. Yes the coaching staff believes wholeheartedly in the principles of this first practice. That if a player can handle this they can handle whatever else we might throw at them and by surviving this first practice the players themselves believe this. Gilbert is a huuuuge key to a potentially very successful season and he has a documented surgically repaired shoulder, so why on Earth would the coaching staff throw him in the mosh pit with the big boys just to test how recuperated he really is, even with everything that was stated above pertaining to the importance of the first practice. What if, God forbid, he possibly re-injured himself. That would be the worst coaching decision ever. Excellent player management by the coaching staff. I am not sure how all of the above applies to Terry Larrier, but I would guess that the risks are less. [/QUOTE]
