Yes, I think that Joe Gibbs' democratic, open minded decision to listen to the players' wishes, is going to make everyone, not just the ones who worked out at home, better prepared for the season.

Even the players who stayed had the choice to not be there. When you have to/must/are required to, etc. do something, you generally don't enjoy it, and you tend to be enervated by it to some degree. As far as off season workouts, where it doesn't really make a big difference where someone is when they are working out, to give people freedom to make their own decisions is going to give them a brighter outlook, more emotional energy, and reinforce their respect for Coach Gibbs and his leadership.
