ESPN NFL on Jaylen Warren
From the article
It did feel different when I'm used to all that physical. But I understand why we don't do it, and the philosophy behind it. Just adapting to it. ... At the end of the day, we're trying to keep guys up, keep them healthy. The season's the most important thing and winning is the most important thing.
STACKED’s take
Warren adapts to McCarthy's less physical practice approach while maintaining readiness.
Running back Jaylen Warren acknowledged the shift from Mike Tomlin's high-intensity, nonstop practice approach to Mike McCarthy's more controlled, science-based methodology. Warren noted the difference in physical intensity during the first padded practice under McCarthy but expressed understanding of the philosophy focused on player health and longevity, stating 'At the end of the day, we're trying to keep guys up, keep them healthy. The season's the most important thing and winning is the most important thing.' Warren also indicated he was prepared for the backs-on-backers drill if it occurs under McCarthy, saying 'As long as we have it, I'm prepared' and 'I'm trusting the process that they got us going through.'
