The NFL Players Association's recently-published NFL Player Team Report Cards have generated plenty of chatter -- including among the players themselves.
The report cards polled a total of 1,300 players, asking them to assess their own team in eight off-field categories: treatment of families, nutrition, weight room, strength staff, training room, training staff and travel. The New England Patriots didn't fare too well, ranking 24th out of 32 teams overall and receiving a C-minus or worse in four of the eight categories.
But if you ask defensive tackle Carl Davis, the Patriots' strength coaches are still much better than who he dealt with in Baltimore.
