I do remember that, but Marty was probably the only coach that worked his older vets that hard starting from day 1 of training camp. It really is not smart. Marty's teams over his entire career had a reputaion for wearing out down the stretch. So I did not fault Bruce (and several others) who bitched about that. I sure am glad Gibbs takes the exact opposite approach. This 5 weeks off to try to keep them fresh later in the season is a terrific way to go.
