Head Coach Joe Judge
Opening Statement: All right, so we can open it up to any questions you guys have today.
Q: Joe, yesterday you said (Running Back) Saquon (Barkley) is making tangible progress? We didn t do a very good job following up, what does that mean? What s tangible progress for him?
A: That s really tied more into the strength and medical in terms of the numbers they re looking at and where his body is compared to where it was in the past. The tangible results right there really reflect on the numbers, really can measure things directly to the strength, his recovery, all of that stuff. There s sheets and stuff that we go over all the time and I just kind of tell them, keep me informed in terms of where he is in the ramp up process and where you think he is compared to last week, the week before and things of that nature.
His reasoning?
“We are going to try to mirror this as much as we can in terms of the pattern we have in the regular season,” he said. “We’ve been two hours on the field the first two days. (Friday), we’ll be about an hour and a half. That generally patterns what we do in the regular season.
“After this, we’ll have a day (Saturday) where we’ll actually tone it down a little bit and focus more on teamwork. We’re going to be more at a lesser pace. We call it the “Pro Bowl Jog,” which is what the league officially calls it, but it’s more of a spirited jog through, if you would.”
