Rly, 56, became the National Football League’s first full-time strength coach when the Dallas Cowboys hired him 14 years ago. Since then, he’s worked with the teams in San Diego and Kansas City. When former Kansas City Coach Hank Stram was chosen to lead the Saints to respectability, one of the first men he hired was Roy. “It’s up here,” said Roy, tapping his forehead. “We want them think ing football. You work out inside, it’s the YMCA or a health spa. Outside, it’s football.” ■rent I® [esandi We’d like 4o take you for a ride several* justasas ley iaa| nlene l| latic.W Hey.

Coach Stram wants them thinking about the teams we play, so he had me paint the weights the colors of the NFL jerseys — or as near to them as we could get. “Now take Burton, when he started working with the weights, he was cleaning (raising the barbell horn the ground to the shoulders) 155 pounds,” Roy said. “He’s clean ing 255, now. “Monday, we’re going to give him what Coach Stram calls ‘a chance to demonstrate the caliber of his indi vidual achievement.’ I call it show ing his tail off. If anybody’s been thinking Burton’s lazy, he’ll get a chance to show them how hard he’s been working.” Grooms lay on his back and thrust upward at a pile oforange weights on the leg machine.

He wouldn’t be built like that,” said Roy, explaining that he prefers the wide “powerful’’ build of Green Bay Hall of Earner Jimmy Taylor, who came under Roy’s tutelage at Louisiana State. He attributes the success of Dallas to emphasis on off-season condition ing — weight training and running. “Lord, nobody works harder than the Cowboys,” Roy said. “You look at their hands, they’re like peasants from gripping that iron. And they’re never injured, like the New York Jets. “The Jets aren’t in any kind of condition. They’re led by a quarter back, but they’re not in condition. A lot of teams in the NFL aren’t in condition. A lot of them don’t work at it.” In addition to the weight training, Roy’s routine calls for long-distance running. Dairi| Queen * Located on S.
