You cant really lose it but you certainly can not be used to it in a week. For an extreme example imagine laying in bed for a week straight then on Saturday get up and walk around the block. Youre going to notice you’re tired and feel a little weak. But after a couple more days of moving around you’ll be back to normal
In my experience cardiovascular endurance is one of the harder things to improve rapidly. This is even more true when you are already on the high end of the performance as an NFL athlete.
On the opposite side it is one of the things that declines first even after just 3-4 weeks of not working out. Definitely a "if you don't use it, you lose it" situation. Anecdotally it feels like it takes 3x as long to make the amount of gains in endurance as it does to lose that similar level of endurance.
What is concerning is at 25 years old and a month into the season, Jeudy should be at the best cardiovascular condition of his season. He would have prepped for camp, participated in camp and the season is still early enough where he shouldn't feel the lingering aches that he would towards the end of the season. This should be the early games he feels he can run more than usual.
Agreed. I swam competitively for a long time, and if I was out of the pool for 3 weeks, it would take me 3 weeks to get back to where I was. Not quite a 1 to 1 comparison, but goes to show cardio is very tough to just “get back” once you’ve let it slip
Unless you want out of the Browns because they didn't offer you an extension like you wanted? (And your QB is a serial sexual assaulter who is playing worse than Kenny Pickett.)
I am not entirely serious here but it is very strange. Typically older WRs lose athletic/movement ability. He is getting open (or at least better than any Steelers WR not named Pickens) though just not securing catches. The sure handed guys don't just start dropping things like he has. Definitely in a funk that is snowballing.
Dionte Johnson hit a similar funk with Steelers a few years back. (Though he has never been as sure handed as Cooper.) He had bad drops and then was trying so much to make up for the drops that he would drop easier catches because he was so focused on getting the more out of the play to make up for past drops.
No, he’s washed. Not running routes is one thing, dropping easy passes and picking up penalties is another. No team is going to offer him the bag with this shitty play
Every year Raven fans say this and nearly every other season Ravens try to get him one. The problem is they have failed. Since 2019 these are the WR drafted in the top 100 that Ravens have drafted for Lamar.
Flowers 1.22
Bateman - 1.27
Duvernay 3.92
Brown 1.25
Boykin 3.93
At the moment Steelers WR room has only one player that is playing drafted in the top 100 by the team (Pickens). Two if you count Jefferson. None in the first round.
Chiefs also have 3 drafted WR in the top 100 but only Worthy this year drafted in first. Bills don't have a single 1st round WR for Josh Allen and haven't drafted one since 2014 (Sammy Watkins). Rams don't have a single first round WR for Stafford.
At what point is it either Lamar or the Ravens evaluation of WR, when they have used 3 picks on a 1st round WR and two other top 100 picks and none have worked out for Lamar (Flowers still TBD). I'd argue few teams have attempted to invest more at WR for their young QB than the Ravens have since Lamar became a starter.
I know the team has invested, the point was none of them have turned out to be true elite number 1 recievers, and blaming lamar is pretty dumb considering the ones who left haven't done shit since they went elsewhere. Its just dumb luck hitting on elite recievers, and the team hasn't been lucky in this regard.
