HANC
All-Conference
Chuckd.......... I understand your point.....but as a coach, I try to protect my obvious starters (must have guys)....ie.....qb's wearing green jerseys........ IMO, after the offense has 8 series in the 1st half alone, and another 4 in the 3rd period..... I think that they have had enough PRACTICE for one session.....
If you have watched many football practices, most are "controlled"....meaning that quick whistles, no cut/chop blocks..... in a game such as the spring game, late (4th qtr).... especially after only 15 practices, guys start getting a little tired....sloppy..... and add in the fact that the young guys are still playing for their 15 seconds of fame..... the RISK of injury increases dramatically........so yes, as a coach, late in a spring PRACTICE, I make sure that my ONLY RB is safe......
Yes injuries happen at any point (moving tv's
)....... and yes, I expect all of my players to practice a FULL practice at the intensity determined for the practices, but in this situation, I will gaurantee you that if BC would of had a "full stable" of running backs, Lucky would not have seen the field in the 4th...... so my idea , as stated above has not changed as far as using the 4th period for young backups....especially if you go 1's vs 1's in the 3rd....
