The Jaguars OTA practices were to end on Thursday, following a directive from the NFL to suspend the team’s final two practices, scheduled for next Monday and Tuesday, due to what the league has determined is an excessively intense regimen by the Jaguars this spring.

The Baltimore Ravens OTAs were suspended for the same reason earlier during the off-season.

On a side note, I wonder how many extra draft picks the Pats* will get for this, since this obviously puts them at a competitive disadvantage?
What happened to when practicing with, or without pads was the biggest concern.
Are the players making the complaints? "I had to run too much today. I sweatted toooo much, and got real tired."
And anyway, how do you regulate/monitor something like a 2-minute drill at half-speed?!?!?
The Raiders were suspended the last two days of OTA's also, for the same reason.

I guess if the players don't want to win it all this year that's fine. They know they have to be in shape to win. In all honesty I'd like to know who the genius was that put that clause in the CBA. I wonder what it will take to get it removed. I mean I can understand no full pad practices until camp(It's done that way at the high school and college level), but they need to have a little bit of intensity. I hate to say it to them.

My coaches always told me..."You practice like you play"...meaning just because it is practice, it does not give you an excuse to play differently then you would in a game. Play hard all the time to get better. Period.

"When you go out on the field and you're intense for 60 minutes, some guys don't want to do it. When I line up across from him, he has to do one of two things, he has to raise his level of play, or he's going to get his *** kicked all day"

So they want to add 2 more games of grueling football, but they won't let them practice? Because practicing too hard ALWAYS leads to injuries...
