One of the benefits of playing in today's NFL is the understanding of the recovery processes that each player goes through and how recovery is not the same for all guys. Back in the day Chuck Noll, and all coaches in general believed their team's needed to bang three days a week. It wasn't until the late Bill Walsh, coach of the 49'ers, brought the concept forward to taking the pads off and letting the players heal up during the week that the recovery part of football became as important as the preparation part of football.
Years ago, Chiropractors were thought of as "witch doctors" and massage therapists as some sort of alternative lifestyle practitioners. Nutrition was more voodoo than common sense, and if you didn't have railroad tracks somewhere on your body from scapel work from a surgeon before the the advent of arthscopic surgery you obviously hadn't been in the league very long.
With the Steelers on their bye week, Coach Mike came along like Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory handing out "Golden Tickets" that permitted the bearer of said ticket a pretty sweet deal by giving them time off from practice............
