Adam Gase’s vision for the rookie minicamp is unique.
Adam Gase has a truly unique vision for the rookie minicamp.
Gase’s vision for the rookie minicamp makes it quite clear that even though he hasn’t coached Miami through even one play, he will not be doing things same-ole’, same-ole’.
Time management and efficiency are essential qualities for an NFL coach.
Less must be more in order to make the obscene schedule of an NFL coach a successful one.
This weekend’s rookie minicamp will display in Gase something that is rare in a copycat league: originality in forward-thinking.
Most of the time what makes for an NFL success story or a failure is preparation or lack thereof.
The irony is, in a game of titans, it’s the mind that separates the men from the boys.
Adam Gase has shown in the early stages of his tenure that he sees both the macro and micro simultaneously.
Does this sound overblown – maybe, but it’s still true.
Gase commented early that what players want most in a coach is the ability to get them to excel and in being their best to get paid.
It doesn’t take an expert at pay per head bookie to realize the truth in that statement.
Winning and getting paid is the sum of every member of the NFL – case closed.
Is this a unique approach to the rookie minicamp a sign of things to come?
This rookie minicamp will do just that – and without taking a live rep, a sprint, blocking a bag, or running a route.
This avant-garde approach has been in the making for nearly a year in the mind of Adam Gase.
Rookies will undergo intensive scheme work, assignments, film work, and playbook study along with a rookie symposium to aid in life-skills, nutrition, and body maintenance. A secondary effect is a rest it will provide on the bodies of the players who have been going non stop from a season into draft preparation. The hope is it will lessen the rookie wall.
Some might scoff – but, come training camp the line between the men and boys will be quite clear. The rookies will be expected to have a firm grasp on the mental aspects…and if not, then they will have one foot out the door, and the roster cuts will be that much easier. There will be no excuses for players young and old this training camp – it will be gone from minute one. Go Fins!!!
