Sorry, but the soft camp debate is overblown.
One, I've witnessed a week of a Herm Edwards camp, and a week of Dick Vermeil camp, and the only differences were in the TIME it took to get the same thing accomplished.
With DV, there was a lot of time between drills, guys aimlessly walking around, time being wasted.
Herm had shorter practices, but was up-tempo the entire time. Guys weren't standing around wondering what was going to happen next.
Two, Brian Billick's camps in Baltimore were jokingly known as Club Med. Last I checked, the Ravens were pretty damn good for the most part when he was there - especially in the month of December.
You don't beat your team up in August and expect them to still have gas in the tank in December/January.
