Nick Reveiz went too hard in practice for Fulmer....

Sometimes I hear things and they blow my mind.... Consider mine, right now, officially blown.

agreed, any of us that have played the game at ANY level ever been told to not go so hard?? slow down?? OMG no wonder we were getting our butts handed to us. Thanks for posting this

So I'm guessing Fulmer is a big Dan Devine fan in hating all things Rudy. I'm sure his favorite part of that movie was when they asked Rudy to dial it down....."Dial it down like heck, son. Stop trying so hard. Golly."

Great read and yet I suspected alot of that by the way Fulmers teams played on Saturdays.Nick played a great game on satuday and so did the rest of the team. The physicallity of this team is what really surprised me, but I very much enjoyed seeing it.

Obviously, you never want your scout team going harder than the players actually getting reps. Of course, I'm a firm believer that the only time pads should be worn in practice is as punishment; I believe a great deal more gets accomplished with a no-pads (yes helmets) practice that has high intensity but no tackling.

I think the best practices I've been around were probably 60-75% high intensity, the rest being used for either chalk sessions or slow-speed walkthrough.

sounds like one of the past staff's practice.wouldn't want you for a coach bubba.::no:

We'd go full pads in two-a-days, and those were the only times that full tackling took place. We'd do tackling drills daily in no pads (and usually no helmets), which I think went an awful long way toward establishing proper technique. I think there's a tendency, when there's tackling with pads, to get a bit undisciplined and let the pads compensate for it. When you're going through each part of tackling piece by piece with no pads and no helmet, it teaches you to do everything right.

I think the schools that do practice in full pads only do it 2 days a week, Tuesday and Wednesday, and shorts on Monday and Thursday, obviously games on Friday.
