Mavric Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Different format from years past. Practice will start on Saturday, March 5. They will practice on a Tuesday, Thursday Saturday schedule. It's been Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday for quite some time. Thus, the practices will be spread over five weeks instead of four leading up to the Spring Game on April 16. 3 Quote Link to comment

Kind of like longer spring. Give the guys time to put in work outside of practices and see who is putting in that time. What i like to call Prove It periods. Quote Link to comment
topekahusker Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I like it too. It spreads out the time on the field to create some time to study the plays the staff is trying to implement instead of 'cramming'. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerPowerVA Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I think this will especially benefit the QB development, especially POB. 1 Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 If they had a couple more weeks to spread things out would be even better. The closer one gets to year 'round football, the better and faster the development will be. Long idle periods makes the rust develop and then requires catch up. I think school is the same way. Yes, a period of rest is needed no doubt. But, requiring the players to practice on their own for months on end is foolish and counter productive. Physical fitness and skill development is almost always going to be safer, faster, better when under the watchful eye and instruction of professional coaches. I really don't see the reasoning behind the entire mentality of 'seasons' and so that NCAA rules make it so difficult for athletes to be athletic. Training for the Olympics, professional sports participation, etc. is certainly year round as well. Gymnasts must work almost non-stop or lose their skills and risk injury, etc. if they stop for more than a few weeks, etc. Limiting football to about half the year effectively is nonsense.

Mavric Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Stewart also said that Avery Anderson would be moving to safety. Eric Lee will remain at corner. Cavanaugh said Christian Gaylord, “really needs to have a strong offseason.” Cavanaugh said center Michael Decker has had a really strong offseason. 247 Quote Link to comment

Football players usually have a heavier class schedule in the spring when their time isn't completely consumed by football. For a lot of the players, the spring is the only time they can enroll in many of their required classes. Coaches are more lenient for players missing practices for a class in the spring as well. They are also allowed to train with the strength coaches in the off season so it's not like they are on their own or with someone who isn't a professional. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 So Carlos is definitely a DT. Davis was listed at 230 last year so that's a good improvement. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Stoltenberg will also miss spring ball. Injured his knee vs. Iowa. DPE obviously still out but they expect him to be full go in fall. Quote Link to comment
