As for others on this thread who are in the know about Landry's 5-day-week workout, well, rock on that he's hitting the treadmill with other dudes, but it's not the same. He needs to be with his teammates who are taking the time and initiative to show up, to build a team, camaraderie, chemistry, mindset.

And we're not talking about a $60k employee ditching calls from HR during a sick day, we're talking multi-millionaires with months off from the office. And yes, I know their bodies take a pounding...

Sorry, Landry gets no pass from me, and I can give a rat's ass how Springs and ST used to handle this. I came up during the glory years, when Redskins with Super Bowl rings conducted their own voluntary workouts often b/4 Joe Gibbs even got out of bed. It worked out for them.

I agree 100% that this is a big reason why the Skins are a mediocre team. You mention that he was contacted by his employer and in the Skin's case this is only sort of true. With the Skins, the players see themselves as working for DS not the head coach. Therein lies the problem. The Skin's chain of command is screwed up and until its fixed, and the players think they are working for the head coach, this team will be disfunctional and mediocre. I bet he wouldnt ignore a call from DS.
