Offseason Advantage (TC move from McDaniels)

[GrimCoconut]

I wanted to go back and look for the topic where everyone was up in arms about how devastating this was, how the Ravens stabbed us in the back, took away tradition, etc. I am wondering, now that we have a full season and then some, if anyone is happy with the change.

In case anyone forgot, the Ravens cancelled their partnership with McDaniels college where they used to hold training camp and moved to the UA Performance Center for "competitive reasons". Can we say that there is a distinct advantage in the move?

I personally think there might have been. Two years in a row we made it to the AFCCG. Now we're in the Super Bowl.

I think we're definitely seeing it in terms of our team's stamina. Two of the major things that kept us from getting over the hump the past four years were injuries and late season fatigue. Then, this year we turn around and dominate in two of the hardest places to play on the road late in the playoffs (particularly Denver with the short week, east-west trip, and altitude). Harbs has always been a tough coach from a conditioning standpoint but I think this year our guys are at a whole new level of fitness which is a huge reason why we see things like Suggs and Ray's miraculous returns and the level of healthiness we have on the team at this point in the season.
