Trent usually practices, let's use him for example. He usually practices on Thursdays and Fridays. Friday is more of a down tempo practice for us. Thursday's a full speed practice. Wednesdays he doesn't practice. He's with strength and conditioning. So, if you take that and say three weeks, this week, next week, the following week, that's three practices and no games. Is that enough work in 21 days to be ready to play at the highest level? It could be for Trent, or you might need to have a few more reps than that to be sure you're ready to play.
It's a balancing act. Trent would say to me, we're scrimmaging against the Raiders, and he's getting bull rushed a little bit. And I'm like, 'Hey dude, you need to sit down a bit and anchor.' He goes, 'I only got so many anchors left in this body, so I ain't going to waste them all in training camp against the Raiders. I'm going to save them for the season.' And I said, 'Understood.
