In a digital age, thick NFL playbooks are distilled onto tablets, hours of game film are accessible at the swipe of a finger, and Raiders offensive line coach Mike Tice can quantify the meticulous study habits of center Rodney Hudson.
Throughout the week, Raiders players use iPads to access study materials for upcoming games. Occasionally, Tice said, he’ll get curious as to how much film is being watched on those devices.
“Couple times a year I’ll go in to see how many minutes are on there,” Tice said. “(Hudson), by far, is in the thousand-minute plus category — every week.
