It’s a delicate balance watching training camp in the early going.
In the waning days of July, nary a single preseason game has been played. Players come up with hamstring injuries or cramps left and right as they acclimate once again to the physical demands of practice. Everyone is getting up to speed as they slowly but steadily raise their readiness level for the opening of the 2019 regular season. This includes coaches.
A significant part of these offseason training activities and even a portion of training camp is all about experimentation. That’s what makes it difficult to know how to read between the lines in practice.
