I'm a fan of the physicality and I hope we do the same this year. I also think it helped the team with conditioning (and potentially a reason as to why we avoided the injury bug for most of the year?) in addition to the mental aspect of what we were looking to accomplish. Since this year should be more of the same, I'm hoping to see our guys banging it out in camp as much as possible.

I agree with all of this. If you go soft in training camp the guys won't be conditioned for when it gets real during the season. They need that mental and physical toughness to endure, especially the guys coming from states that aren't as hot and humid as Jacksonville. A player who came here from Dallas recently, I can't remember his name, said the program was about the same in Jacksonville as in Dallas but the amount of times they actually did drills was a lot more- like 50-60% more. He said it was tough at first but during the season it paid off. 

I think the toughness is what Marrone is about, period.
