Frost - best practice yet
- Thread starter inWV
- Start date
This is encouraging. Frost strikes me as a straight shooter and tells things how they are, whether good or bad. Not like the constant Frankie update "We moved around well today".

My main takeaway from the 30 min we could watch of #Huskers practice: Frost is hands on. Mike Riley stood and watched practice. Frost is *in* it. He whistles plays dead, demonstrates drills. There’s no question who is in charge.
I love the response to the tackling consultant question!!!!
My most important take away was when he said. "Live to the ground" 2 days a week during season. We have heard over the years that they played 100% during practices. So when game day came, it was no big deal and many former players have said, game day was easier than practices.
I could be wrong but I don't believe they have done this much in the past. Especially the last 3 years. I think that is why we have been seeing so many injuries. These players are not use to going 100% and end up getting hurt. He said he incorporated this "live to the ground" at UCF. I believe they were one of the least injured teams last year

I don't think he was intentionally trying to throw shade, but if he was ZING!
I LOVE the way there seems to be perpetual motion with units running in and out while they were going live with plays. IF you practice that way all the time, it makes it seem more game like and there shouldn't be any problems getting subs in and plays in and run on game day. Love the up tempo practice. I hate the look at the sideline play calls, but I have a feeling I'm going to love this offense.

Sounded like all the QBs are showing good things so far and no one has quite broke out as the number one yet (but honestly who expected anyone to emerge yet??, I’m still betting Gebbia) and this is what I love the most....sounds like Honas is really stepping it up and showing good. Frost said he’s just wanting Honas to e more vocal leader now...which is saying in its own. I bet he’s starting when the season starts. I’m so glad we beat him over Iowa and Wisky (it was it just Iowa it came down too?!). I have a feeling he will be one of those beast LBs we tend to land.

Now if we can just get em out of that indoor facility once in a while.
yes, thank God they will actually practice football by playing actual football. Haven't done it since Solich.

UCF had zero soft tissue injuries last year.link is to the article

Yeah, it sure sounds like Honas is an animal. Maybe a Murtaugh clone. Terrific!!
Murtaugh is a deep reference. If Honas matches that in terms of performance, I’ll be real happy.
This transformation is going to be awesome to watch.
Who wouldn't want to play for this staff?

I generally am not a big fan of a multi-QB system, BUT IF we run tempo a bunch I think it would put a lot of pressure on DCs to play multiple QBs with slightly different skill sets and tendencies. Let O'Brien, Bunch or Martinez pound them for a while going heavy on the run and switch it up with Gebbia who still gives you the threat of a QB run but is probably the better passer. IMO, we have very good options at QB this year. Get 3 guys ready at least for conference play. We'll likely need them.
If he keeps serving up red meat at every PC that first game is going to be 100-nothing! Tell me you didn't get excited when talks about the oline and "for a long time"..."Lincoln, Nebraska". That is red meat to a STARVING fan base.
Even when the weather gets warm I doubt they practice outside much unless in the stadium. This coaching staff seems to want to keep their practices private.
Might work but the play calls or RPO's are based on what the D does, not what the QB can do. The idea is put pressure on the back 7 and safeties in general. All of the QB's have to be able to take advantage of that whether they can run or not. I don't think you will have any worries about getting players ready, the coaches pride themselves on getting reps fairly evenly. That may change as the year plays out though. Mostly, the QB who stands out will get the best feel for what is going on in a game and then reacting to it so switching may make that more difficult. JMHO
A DC has to game plan for a particular set of offensive personnel and what their strengths and tendencies are. The more things you make them prep for the better. I don't think all of Frost's playbook is RPOs anyway.
Frost has stated that he does not like to rotate quarterbacks and prefers to have one guy be "the guy". He said it when there was a minor qb controversy down at UCF.
