Why are so many guys getting pulled muscles after being off just 2 weeks? I know they worked out and ran, etc during the break even if they did not have organized practices. We really need Ardarius to be 100% healthy. Hopefully it is not serious, but practice reps are needed too.
I think you are on to something. I think Saban's attitude to constant max effort has been evolving over the last few years. He seems more attentive to fatigue as a reality of performance instead of an excuse. He's talked about using that bio-metric system (I forget the name) that measures a player's overall physical status. It may well be that he is pacing the players (a little) so they don't wear out from practice.
There's a pic on Twitter of him throwing a ball standing beside JH.
Nick seemed pretty ....ed off it was even brought up by the media. Something tells me Lane probably got a butt chewing for having him doing that in the session open to the media. Even if Stewart were getting reps what frekin good does it do to alert Washington? Sometimes the media really needs to shut up. Personally, I have no idea why they even open practice to them. Wouldn't be surprised if they were not allowed the rest of the season.
IDK. It seems equally likely that he was giving WA a little extra to think about...
This is exactly what I thought as well. It's rare that CNS ever trips over himself in a press conference. He said exactly what he wanted Washington's coaching staff to hear.IDK. It seems equally likely that he was giving WA a little extra to think about...
Exactly this. Also don't think it was a coincidence that Stewart completed a TD pass in the open session either. Even if we never run it, don't think for a minute the UW staff isn't factoring it in as something they have to practice for. Plus, who knows, on one of the jet sweeps we might hand it off instead of tossing it up and then Stewart would still be able to throw.
didn't ardarius throw a pass in the barn game?IDK. It seems equally likely that he was giving WA a little extra to think about...
thanks. details of all of the games from mid-october onward pretty much run together for me
He did and his HS highlight videos are impressive, not at all your typical "I haven't done this in a long time" RB pass...
