Oakland Raiders Lockout Workouts: Players Cover Themselves

PrintThe Oakland Raiders lockout workouts were closed to the media on Thursday. That is, it was only closed to the outside media. The players seemed more than content to cover themselves. The players took to the pool on Thursday, and by all Twitter accounts they were put through a grueling workout.
Check out the videos taken by Walter McFadden. One of the things that comes to light through the videos is that Bruce Campbell was present. It was reported he was absent on Wednesday.
Shout out to @cesperformance for that killer pool workout! Thanks to them i cant lift my arms to eat lunch
Pool workout was a beast today, I see no purpose in lifting weights ever again after that workout
Pool workout this morning with resisting bands was one of the best workouts I've done bc it's working every muscle in the body at once.
Then we have Stanford Routt. I have not seen any evidence to suggest Routt actually made it to Atlanta to work out. He was mentioned in Wednesday's reports as not being present. He was asked on Twitter why he was not with his teammates and replied, "I got class...."
That can be taken many ways. Is Routt trying to infer that his teammates have no class, and for him to work out with them would an admission of class forfeiture? Are you too good for your teammates Stanford?
More than likely Routt was referring to some sort of higher education pursuit.

Once Stanford Routt
figures out he’s not the greatest thing since sliced bread , maybe he rejoins the real fucking World! What an uneducated assinine statement to make , that will make the rest of the squad sympathetic to him the first time (or second or third or fourth) he gets burned for a TD that costs us the game. His “T.O” attitude must go ,or be beaten out of him , Raider Nation does NOT need ths shit! We need PLAYA’S , not TALKERS . Everything Seymour and the team represent was “dissed” with that 5th grade comment. Stanford Routt , kiss my ass!
Don't you think he was probably talking about school?
Richard Seymour is ours, and you can't have him.

maybe Routt has a "class" with a coach
maybe hes putting his money to good use and getting excellent private training.
Maybe He Knows His Time Is Limited And He's Finishing His College Education...
Can’t fault a player for that…We have had other guys report a little late so they could finish school…Than who knows if he has communicated and was told to finish that school and report next time…Judging from our turnout I suspect everyone is accounted for and that Seymour made sure of that…
Rich is our new Player/Coach and he has demonstrated he’s up for the task…Wouldn’t be a bit surprised if he stays on long after retirement in some coaching capacity…His 1st audition is a damn good one…

I have a feeling that "class" is referring to private workouts and lessons with Rod. That would be a good thing.

maybe,
but can’t speak to coaches…hence, should mean his private trainer. no matter how you slice it, it doesn’t come off well even if he’s trying to get his degree.

Applied Kinesiology??...."AAS" Stands For "Asociate Of Applied Science" a 2 Yr Degree Pogram...
“BS” is a 4 yr degree program in whatever area of study that the degree is given in…AAS is a 2 yr degree earned the same way…
Had to look up the “Kin”…I never studied any medical fields…Metallurgy/Gemology/Mineral Deposit Geology…
According to what I see some consider it a “Quackery”…But than here in Asia many alternative forms of medical care have been proven worthy over time…While others are pure and simple religious fraud…Like hot points stuck in your back to cure a hernia…Incense carrying away your infections thew the spirits and so forth…Not to mention the fruits that are left for the spirits to devour…If they eat it’s undetectable to the eyes…

Kinesiology is one of the fastest growing sciences in today's athletics driven world
There’s quackery in anything, but kinesiology in and of itself cannot be anything but what it’s meaning represents: the science of motion and kinetics, and more importantly, how the human body is involved. Basically a combination of physics, anatomy and physiology.
I could think of worse field for a professional athlete to be studying. And I’d lean towards the AAS acronym meaning something like you guessed below more accurately, than an associates degree.

OK...Now I'm Better Informed...
Actually I am an alternative medicine participant but research things in depth prior to any procedures…Have avoided 3 spine surgeries threw Epidural Cordizone Injections of both Cervical n Lumbar spine…C2-C7 n L5-S1…Coupled with exercise and Hormone Replacement Therapy…HGH…So even at 60 and put at 100% by both the VA and SSA I can now going dancing with my young wife…Can’t play football yet but maybe that will be a future undertaking…Ha! Ha! Ha!…

Wow, people ripping kinesiology. I guess it's a worthless career path/degree.
Mavs are much ado about nothing. They had the cryptonite, we couldn't defend those 3's. They will get blown out of the water by OKC, Memphis or the Heat (sad, but true, they are fast and athletic) Effff the Mavs.
Nothing is worthless. But one doesn't get a ba in anything and become an expert in it
The responses on that blog are comical and elementary regarding views on the pursuit of a degree. It is never something so cut and dry as the simple view someone gave about knowing someone who hoped to be a coach who planned on majoring on kinesiology and how it doesn’t pertain to being a coach. Having studied kinesiology one would find himself in a minority amongst coaches, who often study fields that offer less—like radio and broadcasting, or business admin.— to pertain to sports they coach, if anything at all, than one that studies the science of the human body in motion.

Clarify...Has Routt Expressed An Interest In Coaching?...
I made comments about Rich Seymour’s potential to become a coach after retirement but didn’t see anything pertaining to Routt…But I was also very uninformed about what “kinesiology” was…Than when I looked I found 2 contrasting areas of study…
“kinesiology” as the science of the human body in motion.
“Applied kinesiology” as some form of chiropractic diagnoses that is considered “Quackery” by many medical professionals…
Don’t know which area Routt is studying but the “AAS” is given in the Applied version as a 2 yr program……

Click on the Look, in his link. I'm referring to them
They trivialize the subject. Not referring to our discussion! Lol.

This One Made Good Sense...I Liked His Honest Approach...
I have a degree in Kinesiology.
Taught for 10 years in the public school system (PE). That system paid for me to earn a free MS in Education. I was making about $55,000 after ten years. I also coached at the college level part-time.
Now coaching for about $20,000 less – I couldn’t be happier. Do you need a degree in Kinesiology to be a good coach? No, but my degree was pretty heavily concentrated in physiology – so I have a better understanding of what I am trying to do than someone who has another degree. Therefore, I would consider the course work helpful. That said, one could read through 3 or 4 keys books and have an excellent grasp of enough exercise physiology to be a very successful coach.
The degree alone does not make me a successful coach – that is all a result of athletes working hard and buying in to what I am planning for them. It has however resulted in my passion for reading current training research – my experience with athletes determines what I will change within a system that has yielded decent results
Nice. I could see Stanford going in for something like that
And hope he brings some knowledge and willingness to impart his newfound wisdom to the Raider family.

Rout Has A Bout with Being Dumb
Rout, do not say your one of the best, till u show that u/r consistently. (not just 1 ok year) 1st of all. Secondly!! I agree with the guy that said, your making 10 mill tickets. Get your ass with the team n stop making excuses 4 y your not there. Oh my good lord, please find a way 4 us to keep Asomugha. I do like the 2 kids we picked up 4 the slot. N i can see Rout being on outside with Aso on the other side. But 2 hell, if we have to depend on that Chris Johnson guy. He’s garbage!!
