Re: Redskins | Archuleta working on his own
 

thatguy ,im with you on the point about too much work out might be causing some of the injuries that have plagued A.A. thru out his short career.and with the way his back is,im surprised the skins dont want to monitor him in a controlled situation.im with st21 on this one,he should be in washington with his new teammates.its not about him,its about the team

[quote=diehardskin2982]However, Sean is here this year. There is value if you are Joe Gibbs. He wants to build a family atmosphere at redskin park[/quote]

Yeah I get this point. But you can build the family atmosphere during minicamps and training camps too. I think the atmosphere has more to do with actually liking your teammates, which begs the question: did Gibbs put together a bunch of punks, or did he get a group of cool guys that get along well? I think it's more important that they have decent personalities and get along well with each other, rather than simply spend more time around one another. I don't think time spent necessarily leads to good chemistry. If Archuleta is a cool, likeable, hard-working guy, he'll step right in and the team will accept him come training camp. If he's a D-bag, the team's not going to like him much no matter how much he's around Redskins Park.

Re: Redskins | Archuleta working on his own
 

Schneed makes an excellent point. I read an article (possibly on this site) about how players in previous decades didn't have all the mandatory team activities that are required now. When the spring months hit, they were out making money as door-to-door salesmen, construction workers, etc. just to get an extra pay check. Their physical conditioning was a matter of personal iniciative (spelling?) and responsibility.
On top of that, I know some people work better on their own when it comes to studying, workouts, etc. As a college student, I derived benefit from studying alone instead of working in study groups. I'm not sure why some guys here are freaking out because Archuleta is working out on his own. At least he's taking care of himself.

But didn't you guys had 99% attendance???????

I think if one or two guys are missing on the roster, then the atendence was like 98.7 or something. Maybe the 99% was an older statistic, and AA just recently left for Arizona. But the 99% number basically meant one guy was missing from our roster.

Re: Redskins | Archuleta working on his own
 

Honestly, i don't think this is a big deal. From what i've heard of, he's a big workout buff. Lol jk, am i the only one who thinks this guy is fat and out of shape?

Re: Redskins | Archuleta working on his own
 

Arch seems like a good team guy from all accounts. He simply has his own workout style that is way outside what most do so it doesn't suit much to be here. He will get plenty of time to mingle with the guys at minicamps. As long as a guy can stay out of trouble and can be trusted to work every bit as hard as anyone else I don't care if they are here or not.

Taylor was a second year guy who had shown the remarkable ability to make bad decisions. Him being at the voluntary workouts was more to keep him out of trouble more than anything. Look where not going to the workouts has gotten him. Had he been here there is a good chance ST wouldn't be on trial. Anyone here thinks Arch is gonna get in a gun fight anytime out there in Ari?

Not unless you count his huge biceps as "guns".

Wait, was that a little gay of me?

Re: Redskins | Archuleta working on his own
 

Arch not being there is fine with me. Especially this early. He has been in the league for awhile and knows what he needs to do to stay in shape. He will show up in May and then again in June and then again in August..... Man they have a long offseason. It is not like he needs to be developing timing with a QB or an Offensive line or anything. All he needs to do, is know where to line up and then go hit somebody!

I have never played organized football, but I would think Safety and Corner have got to be the easiest positions to play "learning curve wise". Most of the time you are one on one anyway, which is just pure talent. Unless it is your turn to Blitz. Someone help me with this! Am I right or totaly off base.

All i was trying to say was he's the fattest mofo on the field.
Just in case you didn't know, jk = just kidding.

Re: Redskins | Archuleta working on his own
 

An interesting tidbit about Archuleta's workout plan. If he's still using the same trainer, it's the same guys that Nomar Garciaparra, Donovan McNabb, and many other professional athletes go to in the offseason. I have the trainers book about the workout plan he created. It's supposed to increase flexability and endurance, in addition to strength. Apparently one of the side effects is a decreased resistance to injury. :doh:

Ironically, his trainer's name is Jay Schroeder....though not the same Jay Schroeder you may be thinking of
