HuskerfaninOkieland Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Gonna be tough hearing reports though since Pelini is closing off practices to the media and public. I just flew over and circled the practice field in my Cessna for the last hour and got a good look at what was going on down there: Looks like the offensive linemen are hitting the blocking sled hard. I've never seen guys hit a sled so hard...flew in a little lower and noticed Callahan's face was painted on the blocking dummies. That explains a lot. The backs and ends are doing some sort of strength and conditioning drill that looks like it involves tearing a 2007 playbook in half. Looks like they need some work though as it appears that only about half of the guys have the strength to lift the thing.... Over on the defense...the linemen are getting into their stances and, at the snap of the ball, Pelini is running into them with an old GMC pickup at around 20 mph. I'm betting the first guy to stop the truck will be playing some NT. One guy who didn't stop the truck fell down and looked like he was injured and after a couple of minutes Pelini ran over, slapped him, called him a baby and gave him a bus ticket to Boulder. I swear I heard the theme song from Patton while that was going on... The Linebackers are all involved with some sort of drill that involves buring Cos in effigy...the groundskeepers are kind of pissed about the burn marks on their turf... The DB's are off to the side kicking each other in the crotch. Whenever one of them goes down, the rest of them hit him with what appears to be 2x4's until he gets back up.... Uh oh...I think I see Carl taking aim at me with a Stinger missle...I guess they were serious about that "closing off practices" stuff....Scotty! Evasive Action! Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 if they practice like i think, don't be surprised to see some injuries. going to sort out the men from the boys this spring, and maybe give some another look in the fall. i am betting by the end of spring ball these guys will know exactly what it will take to get playing time this fall!
