Only 10 days ago, the process of gathering rookies began. But that doesn’t provide excuses in a league that has morphed from a “what have you done for me lately?” industry into a “what are you doing for me right now?” proposition.
Via Brian T. Smith of the Houston Chronicle, Texans coach Bill O’Brien isn’t pleased with the current conditioning of his rookies.
“We have a lack of conditioning, so these guys need to get in better shape as a whole,” O’Brien said after the first rookie minicamp practice on Friday.
Some rookies reportedly groused about the heat of a Texas day in May.
“They ain’t seen nothing yet,” O’Brien said.
They’re seeing and hearing plenty as their NFL careers begin. And they’ll be seeing and hearing plenty more if they don’t do what O’Brien expects them to do.
