They can't go into a year working through the first couple games to "get on track". That needs to be done before game #1 starts, so that they hit the ground running. No excuses, get ready earlier, come out firing.
You want to let us know which pre-season he could focus entirely on "ramping up"
2020-COVID year..no OTAs, limited training camp, weird practices
2021-coming off of a quick knee rehab...because of the knee totally revamped his throwing motion, still limited in camp
2022-NORMAL...oops ruptured appendix on day 2 which caused him to miss the majority of training camp. And then have to regain the lost weight and muscle mass loss due to the illness
2023-finally a normal off season-serious strained calf on day 1 of TC. Still not fully healed when the season started
2024-wrist recovery...very limited throwing during off season; Ja'Marr hold in, Tee injuries
