Yeah GREAT article.

Its been awhile since something with that much substance has been posted on here.
Gives you some insight into the high importance of continuity in the NFL.
Thanks KJ.

Wade's never had the luxury of two years.

"Any break that's not a sleep break, I just try to get into it," Wade said. "That's the biggest thing younger guys don't understand. Everybody's going to be able to compete physically. It's going to come down to what your mental capacity can hold and how long you can hold it for."

yeah, that was a good read. Thanks

Good read.....It would be amazing to be able to page through one of those things for just a few minutes.

Now that was a worth while reading.
As stated before, sure would be fun to get a hold of one of them play books, just to see what it's all about......Mind boggling for sure.

i would love to flip threw any one of the playbooks in the nfl. 800 pages of every play for every situation.
get inside a quarterback's head for an afternoon and learn how hard it actually is to be one

Great insite, that was a great read, wish we were privy to a sampling of that playbook. Now that would be cool.

Anytime my fellow viking compadres! Did any of you happen to see the "go to play" for the vikings. They pulled an actual play from their book along with the other 31 teams. I'll find it and post it here. Later.
