The Blackshirts have been handed out

[STL Husker]

I forget. Are we pro or con blackshirts being handed out before the first game?

Also, where do we stand on the exact number of Blackshirts that are handed out?

Personally, I think there should only be 11.

That doesn't make any sense with the way football is played today. Guys that don't start could still play more reps because of different personnel packages.

To bad. If you're not a starter, you shouldn't get one, but that's just me.

But football isn't like baseball. Should a linebacker lose his blackshirt one week because we are playing against a team that requires us to be in more nickel and dime packages? I think the Blackshirts should go to all the guys on first string. They may not start, but they are the best at their position.

Personally I think it should happen in fall camp before the first game.

Being handed out right after the end of Fall Camp and at the start of the first game week is when McNeide always handed them out because that is when the Starting D is published so HCMR is following what many see as the "right way" to do it.

Former equipment manager?

I can see the argument for that but only 11 guys start each week.

So how do you hand out Blackshirts for practice if the opponent's first formation determines which guys are starting?

How does that happen? You wait until your opponent lines up before deciding who you are going to send out on the field? I'm pretty sure this never happens.

So if FSU starts out with 5 wide, we're going to stay in our base 4-3?

Ummm, it happens all the time. Not waiting for the offense to line up, but the coaches in the booth see who the personnel on the field is and radio it down to the coaches on the field. If its 2 TEs, then they go base, if its 4WR, then the go nickel/dime (based on down and distance).
