It is usually difficult in the spring to keep students' in tune with their classes. The weather is turning nice; they want to be outside. This spring they really want to be outside because that just might be Matt Ryan throwing passes to Roddy White on their high school field.If there is a lockout March 4, NFL players are going to look for a venue to work out. They need to keep their timing and hone their skills. The local high school is not going to push them away, that's for sure.
Josh Freeman, the quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, told The Tampa Tribune he has already talked with his receivers about workouts if there is a lockout and there are no formal practices.
"Hopefully the CBA gets resolved," Freeman said, "but if it doesn't, I've already been in contact with all of our receivers and everybody's excited to come (to Tampa) in March and get going.
"We're going to hit up a couple of the local high schools here and work out that way. Hopefully, they'll let us use their weight room or whatever it is we need, because we're anxious to get going.''
Atlanta's Ryan might want to see what receiver Meier has going for him when he is cleared to play. Meier, who was a rookie out of Kansas, was injured in the preseason and did not play in 2010.
Slot receiver Harry Douglas, who never found a groove with Ryan in 2010, also could use some time with the Falcons' quarterback.
The Bucs' Freeman, who will be entering his third season, does not want to be behind when the labor dispute ends, whether it is in April or August.
