Caldwell says of the less-is-more approach, "That is being prudent because this game is so physical. You
have to take that into account."
As key elements of the new 10-year labor agreement, offseason workouts were reduced. Grueling two-aday
practices during training camp are history. Teams are limited to 14 padded practices during the regular
season.
Although successful counterparts such as Bill Belichick relied heavily on two-a-day practices during camp
as part of his formula for success with the New England Patriots, Caldwell thinks they are not essential to
developing hard-nosed, physical players.
"If you look at the teams Tony coached over the years, they were the toughest teams going," says Caldwell,
a former top assistant to Dungy. "They were very physical and very capable teams. In November and
December, when you had to make a move and you had to be playing well, his teams were always playing
well."
Patriots owner Robert Kraft credits Saturday with the heavily debated elimination of two-a-days, noting
how adamant he was on that issue.
"It's hard to like the center for Peyton Manning," Kraft says with a nod to one of the AFC's most
contentious rivalries. "I mean, I really like the guy."
