There's been a lot said about the S&C gains during winter conditioning and the expected (and somewhat fair) reaction that "we hear this every year".
However, the thing that I heard mostly in previous years were generalizations on "how much stronger we are" and "how much better conditioned" we are.
This year is VERY different, in that when the players were interviewed today, they gave specific numbers regarding their muscle gains and body fat loss. This is a really good indicator that something different is happening, especially for the smaller players who probably always feel like they're in great shape. I want to hear some interviews of the OL and DL and hear more about their numbers, just because that gives confidence to everyone that this is real, and not similar to the many Riley/Pelini frauds.
