Happy Easter to all . if im a wr or any player for example I'm getting better going against a one or a 2?I'll make sure to tell Saban, Urban and the other 75% of coaches that do it.
By the end of the summer, the spring game isn't going to matter.
I dont no anyone who doesnt like fade balls. Its the ultimate neutralizer. Gives you a chance when your playing against a team that is better. You have to take shots here and there. It also opens up various parts of your offense. Get those corners and safeties bailing, that allows you to get stuff under neath. Bottom line, fade balls gives you a chance to make a big play. especially with mix matches. Can't defend it, if thrown right.
You can't go 1v1 all the time. Not in team scrimmages. You build competition in other things, like inside run, 7v7 skelly, 1v1's pass ,redzone sessions. You go 1v1 team all the time, you will have more injuries. More importantly, cant just focus on the starters, you want to develop all the players and build depth. Those 2's get better going against the 1's. 1v2's team is the most common way to do that.
I can think of specific occasions when AET or Ish cut in on slants because it happened so rarely. Big wide receivers don't go over the middle in this offense. That's one of the reasons Pierce is going to be so important this fall.
Babers' philosphy was modified last year because there wasn't a tight end on the roster who could do what needed to be done.
They found each other & performed a choreographed celebration together after every touchdown early on last year. Not so much choreographed after Dungey went down at Clemson, but they still embraced after each TD Mahoney led them to. Great relationship.
athletic catch against a quality DB. Gonna be a nice battle between him and Custis.
Maybe they are during much of the practice time not open to outsiders. But if ones always go against ones, how do you ever know if a two has improved enough to possibly become a one?
I have a buddy that I used to play a lot of cards with. When he'd had a few he'd always expound on "odds" and claim that it was always 50/50 that he'd get a card he needed or not. It was one of my most favorite things I've ever heard. And he'd rant about it after more drinks. This reminds me of that.
I'm sorry if covered, but is he in concussion situation?
Nope. Blood clot. Someone from med staff squeezed his leg into an XL knee brace (2 sizes too small, BTW)then tightened the crap out of it. Clots formed where the straps contacted his leg. 3 of the 4 were gone by January, the 4th has been stubborn.
It's like my 5th time and it still pisses me off. Hopefully they "cleaned house"
