There is a level of muscle, joint, and tendon conditioning that only comes from full speed impact.

I agree with that. We only can control what we can but it still wouldn't hurt to try to optimize training the best we can, when we can.

I always wondered why more sports teams don't implement more yoga into their regimen. Maybe they do and it's not publicized but one would think it would pay some dividends.

Man I jammed my toe about 3 weeks ago and not only is it still purple, it hurts as hell. I for one will not rag on Thomas' turf toe. Sucks he's constantly hurt. He was on track of becoming a Hall of Famer.

First I heard of turf toe was Ingram (I laughed at first) then read a little. If recall it took over a season for him to get back to 100%. Ben Grubbs was out with it in the same time frame.

Yoga is/was offered on recovery days, Saints mentioned specifically. Now whether the players participate can be a different story.
