Washington Redskins Coach Jim Zorn chided Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas yesterday for their lack of conditioning and said he anticipates the injured rookie wide receivers will have a hard time having an impact on the offense early this season.

The most damning part of the article;



Neither, Zorn said, was able at the start of training camp to pass the team's conditioning test requiring players to complete a series of sprints within a certain time frame. That lack of preparation could lead to their muscles breaking down so quickly, he said. Players are required to run 12 25-yard dashes within a certain time (less than a minute for wide receivers), then rest for 60 seconds before repeating the 12 dashes.

any idea what the time frame is? it'd be interesting to try that workout once and see at what stage i'd pass out.

but one of the few times it seems like we got the better deal. at least initially.

Miami cut two players because they didn't pass the conditioning test when they returned to the beginning of training camp. on the other hand they were not high draft picks (undrafted free agents)
