WoW.....

Jared echoed a lot of what Jason Peter said on 93.7 and it is hard to hear.

Jared said that the practices during his time at Nebraska where usually more physical then the games they played. They always practiced hard and in full pads.

Kind of an eye opener to what is happening now.

Great show guys. Thanks for sharing.

Go Big Red and #BringThemBack!

Tomich is a great guy. Eager to help out and plenty of time to talk. Great idea about former blackshirts handing them out to the new blackshirts.

I wish people would stop with the myth that Nebraska always practiced in full pads and full contact during the championship years. It isn't remotely true. I was a student from 1990-1994 and again as a graduate student from 1996-1998. I used to watch practices, and they did just as many station drills in half-pads as they do today.

With the talent those teams had, I have no doubt the live-action scrimmages were tough. They used to let you watch spring scrimmages on Saturdays back in the Osborne and Solich eras. There were some legendary collisions. But that does not translate into always hitting in full pads.

Just stop with this myth already. And I hate to follow this up with facts, but the NCAA pretty much dictates when you can practice in full pads these days. The coaches don't have much of a say in it, especially during spring ball.

Playing physical football doesn't happen overnight. It's a culture that has to be honed and developed in EVERYTHING you do as a football team. It starts with accountability. To your teammates, your coaches and yourself. A lot of teams talk about being physical and dominant. To me, physical football is born in the weight room and practice and reveals itself in the 4th quarters of football games when both teams are tired and beaten up. The truly physical football team rises above the pain and fatigue and smashes the opponent into dust.
 
What you heard from Jared is a good example of who he is, grateful and gracious. His story to success is impressive. I have tremendous respect for him and his wife!

I'm sure they were not always in full pads but I think I just heard him say that practices were more physical then the games. I think JP said the same thing. Anyone think that is still the case?
 
Your defense will become more physical if they are practicing every day against a physical offense. Now, during the season your defense is practicing against a scout team running the opposing team's offense. However, in the spring our defense is practicing against OUR offense. If you spend 60-70% of your time rushing the passer and playing in coverage you won't develop a physical mindset. If you're spending 60-70% of your time practicing against a running/physical offense that's a completely different story. Not suggesting DONU should run the ball 70% of the time but what you practice against as a defense makes a difference.

Given that, what I can't make sense of is...given DONU's propensity to pass this year, why our pass defense is currently non existent.

You make a lot of good points. We have to be more physical.
