Yes sir.....I recall an article talking about all of that.....I was just messing around.  Alexander didn't have a lot of the equipment used in linemen drills by his own choice. Headscratcher......

MB may be cheap, but the point of this thread is why is our team so much weaker than other teams? We can't plant and drop someone and that is on workouts in the weight room so strength coach(es) and players work ethic.

I get it some think MB is cheap, God Bless you so now can we get back on thread topic.

I wasn't derailing, just wondering out loud if that was an area where he cut corners.  We all know Mike likes corner cutting.....look at our scouting department for example.  After that, yes, it was late, and I was having sarcastic fun....sue me, this season has brought that back out in me.

A couple of other things I would look at are technique and effort.  Injuries tend to happen when you don't go 100%, and this team really seems to lack in the effort department.  

I think another possibility is other teams are known to cheat and slide in extra full pad practices.  I highly doubt we are doing the same.

Interesting info on Chip, thanks for the clarification.  So, it would seem Marvin brought him over with him from Baltimore.  Color that theory of mine WRONG.

You make a strong point about the effort, half assing is a sure fire way to get hurt, or playing to not get hurt.

Why can't we cheat some?
