In today's NFL we just don't see that much old school training anymore. The athletes have gotten so freakishly big and fast that the risks outweigh the rewards with regards to having your team beat up on each other to get ready for the season. Bring in self motivated people with regards to keeping in top physical shape so then you can focus more on the cerebral aspects of the game. NFL offenses especially seem to have evolved to a point that requires a remarkable attention to detail. The teams that outwork you mentally are the ones that are usually winning the rings. Colts and especially the Patriots. The Steelers bucked the trend and won a ring with more of an old school smash mouth approach.
