OP said " I hope and pray Diaz realizes that anyone with the U on their helmet needs to be 100 percent behind the ENTIRE team."
I think this is clear to everyone.
You are quite possibly correct .. the post may request more than can be reasonably expected. Only 1 way to find out!
It definitely generated some humor. Loved the crossfit video.
There is a balance with tradeoffs .. see:

Kinda feel it's up to the strength training coach to suggest/design the program to meet the program's goals. Manny would have final decision authority IMO.
Current discussions in strength training talk about the tradeoff in strength vs cardio mix in training. Too much cardio inhibits strength development. Likely the programs are varied by player position but wondering how that might change with tempo increase.
