Bike, Jump rope, Swim. There's also the "arm bike" which you could find in any physical therapy shop...doesn't do much for the entire body but will keep your upper body cardio intact Anything of a metabolic nature. You don't necessarily have to be on your feet to maintain endurance although not being on your feet presents a new challenge. I would imagine he's doing a lot of trampoline and band work (elastic) for the knee and then primarily core, and hip work so that he's not starting from ZERO when he is cleared to run and cut. Obviously you don't need a knee to do flys, bench, dumbell press etc etc etc so he should be ok as far as upper body strength is concerned. His biggest challenge, a second OBVIOUSLY will be the analysis of the game. Someone mentioned ODB but ODB was used to lining up everywhere so that helped his comprehension. Not saying Perriman can't have a similar story, but I would have to think that that had something to do with his success

That was awesome. All of it.

Typical Ravens commentary on a Training Camp issue ______ (insert name of player) - "...Oh it's a minor nick/bruise. He should be back later this week. Could be any day now..." ...later that season in Week 5......

Brady has looked awful as in an idiot and he's also looked awful as an arrogant guy. I'm not a Pats fan I'm a Ravens fan. I do respect what this guy did when he was essentially an afterthought in his draft class. All that said - we all know the NFL pulls everything out of it's rear. Bountygate - the story and the aftermath. Ray Rice - you didn't know what happened in the elevator and Ray Rice was ambiguous when he told you the story. What else did I miss? This is the classic story of the jerk boss and the jerk employee. I gotta go with the jerk employee on this one. I'm sorry... What's most stupid about this is that NFL's lack of conviction and resolution is telling of their inability to lead. Don't get me started with the Junior Seau story

I think a court would give a hard look at the manner in which he was disciplined. That's the real issue. There is no precedent for 4 games in the RealWorld. In the NFL they can do as they please. You have to remember that the fine for this thing is at least $25,000. To your point he was "obstructing" the investigation BUT the way the RealWorld works is that there needs to be some precedent already established that says the NFL can give him 4 games when he obstructs the investigation. As we all know, there was not such a precedent. It doesn't matter if we agree that 100% of Brady's NFL discipline was due to him not handing over text messages, nor does it matter that 100% of the team's penalty was due to a previous record. That stuff doesn't matter in the RealWorld Court of Law

I think that's a great point. Where your argument is potentially weakened is everyone who states that less inflation gives the RBs and WRs an advantage to not fumbling. HOWEVER, like you said...and has been pointed out - if Aaron Rodgers wants them more inflated, his teammates have to get used to that...and they do That's what they are used to. I honestly believe the fumbling issue is what everyone wants to latch on to to be able to sufficiently influence the idea of cheating. After all, doesn't a more inflated ball have the ability to go further?

The other problem is that there are now rules and game-time protocol for 2015 whereas said rules did not exist prior to 2015. Something that the defense attorney would hypothetically argue as well.

Sorry bro. But all these dudes are 10x's Oniel Cousins. All of them. In fact, Oniel Cousins could make up the top 7-10 Worst Ravens all by himself. I don't feel as bad about Chykie Brown but I'd still take the 5 on your list any day over him

I wonder how similar this denial is to the Ray Rice denials. How do you deny and then say something like 'fans and people like me want the issue resolved...'. Who cares if Brady isn't on your team? And HOW on Earth does stuff like this end up in Sal Paolantonio's hands to report? That's the real question

Well...I think his attitude and his play can be coached to a 6'5" player as well. Obviously he can't give that guy the chip that he has on his shoulder, but I think he can get in a guy's head regardless. Just like Ray Lewis could ignite most players on defense. Steve Smith has been around since 2000 or 2001 or whatever. He should get respect from every kid at his position....

Steve Smith only makes sense if he is brought in to mentor whatever wide receiver they intend on taking in the 1st round. Otherwise, that's a pretty bizarre move. 35 year old wide receiver for 1 season?? Because you know these NFL contracts are never what they actually say they are.
