The Facts:
McCoy didn't mince words yesterday, when asked if his conditioning is where it normally would be, as May turns to June. "Nah," McCoy said after joining the Eagles' impromptu player-organized workouts, McCoy's first appearance. "I'm a couple pounds heavier than I want to be. It's one of those things where you work out every day, but it's not the same. [Normally you would have] teammates pushing you, guys you got to war with out on the field, day in and day out, for practices and camp, and games. It isn't quite the same. I think everybody is affected a little bit. I'm still in good shape, but I was fatigued a little bit."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
McCoy has mostly been working out in Florida, but he flew home over the weekend to get some reps with teammates. He said that Tuesday was his first time running patterns and catching the ball this offseason. "I've just been doing a lot of lifting, running, conditioning. This is actually my first type of like, football workout," he said. ... While nobody should panic over McCoy's admission of being in less-than-ideal condition, Fantasy Football owners will want to take this year's lengthy downtime into account when considering draft and management strategies once the lockout ends. Handcuffing, for example, might be of greater importance this season than it has been in the past.
