Huskers See Benefits of Streamlining Practices

[knapplc]

Hail Varsity wrote up a pretty good explanation of what the Huskers are going to try with practice this year.

“If you’re fresher, you’re mind’s going to be fresher too,” he said. “Just looking at every way we possibly can to make ourselves better, and I think we’ve done that this offseason.”

It’s part of a two-pronged attack to streamline the Huskers, both on the physical and mental fronts. Mentally sharp and physically sharp are synonymous, Bell said.

“(We’re) thinking about how well we know the play and how well we run it,” Bell said. “I think we’ve narrowed our sight on what we’re good at, now it’s time to get great at those things.”

Simplification is the other arm of the attack, where Pelini sees the Huskers able to stay fresh when they’re knowledgeable of the playbook.

I kinda see their point in keeping guys fresh, but the common logic around here is that more 1-vs-1 in practice is a good thing, and I've always kind of agreed with that. We'll see how this works out this year.

I have two reactions.

First, I like it because this seems to be the response the fans wanted when we yell "WUTS WRONG WIT TEH CONDISHUNNING" every time somebody gets hurt.

Second, I don't like it because NO PAIN NO GAIN YA THINK SPARTY AND URBAN ARE LETTIN OFF THE DANG GAS

As long as we don't go to he-who's-name-shall-not-be-typed two hand touch only practices, I'm fine. You play like you practice.

“We’re starting to get ready to put some things in place where we can actually measure that,” he said “Just trying to stay on the cutting edge of things and continue to find other ways to do things.”

I'd guess he is referring to the technology that Florida State recently implemented. Vests that measure output on each player.

Bo probably consulted Joe Moglia since Coastal Carolina revamped practices and injuries went down a bunch. #speculation

It makes sense, but yeah the first game where there is poor tackling there's going to be a lot of "THEY NEED TO HIT, MAKE PRACTICE WORSE THANTHE GAME LIKE I HEARD JASON PETER SAY,"

Practices probably were tougher than games with our old cupcake Big 2 Little 6 schedule.

Football can be broken down into 3 things:

Tackling.

Blocking.

Execution.

Those who do the first two well will have the third fall right into place.

If you aren't tackling some in practice, you will always field a team that doesn't tackle well during games.

I agree with your sentiment, but this is obviously a gross oversimplification. With this philosophy, you don't need any backs - only an offensive line.
