Cam Jordan playing the Jack taking over Junior's role. I guess that solves that.

Cam in Junior's role? That's interesting.

They are just experimenting.......that is all.

Elevation makes cells more efficient conserving oxygen but it has to be way up there, something like over 7K feet. I don't think they are that high, but it's probably for the best they train in a cooler environment, generally away from the media and other distractions. The medical staff also would not want anything to do with training in La either. I remember when they trained at Southeastern La Univ and stayed at crappy dorms. Times have changed.

Practising in heat is both good and bad for the body.
The good is the fact that it helps keep muscles loose reducing the risk of injury.
The bad is the fact its really easy to get dehydrated which drastically increases the risk for injury. Heat strokes are nothing to play with either.

I'm getting the feeling from things Payton's said that we're gonna run a lot more of a 4-3 Under. We're practicing lining up Hicks at DE with a Sam LB (Kikaha) lined up next to him.
