There was a report on ESPN radio last night that Favre will be kept somewhat isolated in camp, limitted to "individual drills". I'd like your suggestions on what this could involve. Here are two approaches I thought of:
1) Really focus on his footwork and QB mechanics. Perhaps a week of dropping back over and over. NExt week - rolling left. Third week - rolling right. forth week - taking snaps from center - have a rotating crew of centers so they don't get tired.
2) Make lemonade out of a lemon of a situation. Place FAvre at the center of an attraction called "The Legends of the NFL." The show would be loosely modeled after a traveling revue from the 1980's, "Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show." In that hugely popular show, legendary frontiersman Buffalo Bill Cody would take a huge troupe of Indians and animals and actors into cities, and re-enact great scenes from the wild west, usually ending with him scalping an Injun.
You get the point. You hire a guy in who looks like Sterling Sharpe, or STerling Sharpe himself, and they re-enact their greatest plays. Etc. What's Chewy up to?
The show would be a smashing sensation! Initially they could set up in Green Bay at an old Airport hanger or something, but then the show could travel too. You laugh, but people would eat it up, Favre would get to be center of attention, and be out of the team's hair. And what a $$$ maker.
