I wonder if it's the last day of winter workouts?

 

[Finwad32]

I know they're excited about it. Was told that they're being pushed extremely hard this offseason, players and coaches alike. More than one guy is happy that today is the last day of this set.

I would love to see the players' testing numbers, year by year. I'm curious to see what happens to their speed (10yd & 40yd) and agility, as well as the upper body strength of the linemen and linebackers.

I like that stuff too, it would be great to be posted. Unfortunately we have to hold out for the rare twitter pic with the results on the board posted in the background.

I'm headed up there in a couple weeks, I'll see what they say.

Don't we hear this every year?

 

[CuseLegacy]

Don't we hear this every year?

“Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be blest.
The soul, uneasy, and confin'd from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.”

 

[Finwad32]

Don't we hear this every year?

I hadn't, and even if I had, what's the alternative?

Maybe they should just, go all McF*ckit, it's too cold for workouts. Maybe tone it down this year. Last year was a direct result of too much hard work. Or, maybe, realize that no matter how much work they put in, can't get the job done, so they won't work at all.

What's the purpose of this post?

If you've heard the same song before and don't like it, don't listen.

 

[Cusester]

You rock Finwad!

It's a fair question on a public message board that could be responded to the with the specific reasons why this years S&C might produce different results than last years.

Sorry, not sure that I was seeking to cause aggravation.

My point was: Don't we hear this every year? I even recall a cover ESPN.com CFF article during the GRob days of the team doing the 6am workouts.

Sorry to hit a sensitive nerve (and I still don't get it, but whatever). Just curious what actually stood out this year versus past years.

Everyone got bigger, better, and faster. If they went at it harder - my guess is they got that much better. That's how it works.

(Those who want to paint everything negative, will.)

I'm glad to see our defense is going to be prepared to take on tractor tires this year...you know, because that was our problem last year. Those damn tires are deceptively agile.

 

[Full_Rebar]

I know it's expecting too much from them, but really SU has dropped the ball with how little the indoor facility is being talked about. Why aren't there stories/interviews talking about how the team is able to do more with the new space? If you are trying to get people interested in upgrading facilities, it would be wise to really get out and drive home the message of what is being done with the ones you have.

If only the SUAD had some Sr. Exec. AD type who was responsible for communications/PR for the department...

It's a very good core exercise that highlights leverage. Get low, explode through and finish It off at the top. Mimics form tackling and chucking blocks pretty well.

I was aggravated because the original response came across, to me, as a flame statement. If it wasn't, then I apologize for the miscommunication, if it was, I feel the same way.

This is what I know, a 6 AM workout is a 6 AM workout, that's where the similarities end with that regime. Just because you're getting guys out of bed early doesn't mean you're maximizing their and your time. I know that accountability is up. I know that guys on the team and the staff were absolutely burnt from this session. Shafer is pushing, and moreso than he has the past two years.

In terms of specific workout details, I'm sorry I don't have answers there, and never will. I do know this, the same workout can be administered in completely different ways. And, from what I know, it's alot more intense than before.

Competition is up, guys are pushing guys. There's alot being asked of staff and kids alike, and, so far the response has been good.

I don't know about football, but it's really benefiting the lacrosse teams. You could see yesterday that SU was far ahead of Cornell just by having access to a full field.

Yep. During the broadcast, they mentioned that Cornell practiced the day before on clearing, but could only get in about 20 minutes due to the cold. I suspect we were working on things inside.
