Why do OTAs matter? Teams use the time differently, writes RandyMueller_. From memory refreshers to reality checks to varying intensity, this is why practices in May can pay off in January and February:
in 2021 and 2022. Teams push the envelope to gain the most from OTAs, and having witnessed these practices for years, it’s easy to get the lines of delineation blurred.But there is much to be gained from organized team activities regardless of a team’s chosen approach. Here is what makes them valuable:Let’s start with the “practice coaching” and organizing. OTAs allow opportunities for new coaching and scouting staffs, of which there are many in any given NFL offseason, to get out on the field.
Case in point, we read every year of teams taking a day to go bowling or scheduling a fun activity away from the “office” at the end of their offseason. But for each of those, there is another team like when I was in Miami. We had a knockdown, drag-out fight on the last day of OTAs, in mid-June mind you, that resembled a street brawl after a 3 a.m. nightclub closing. For that particular team, it was reflective of the tough and physical spring we had just been through.
were right in the middle of it. I would bet, if asked to this day, they would both recall how crazy it was.Common sense has to prevail, but in 2023 you’d be crazy to not include new findings in sports science research as well. My point is, intensity varies by coaches, culture and leadership within your locker room. Each team is different in how it should or should not use these important days of work.
As a team builder, sometimes in the offseason you can fool yourself with hope. I thought our writer Josh Kendall did a great job
