Spring Practice Day 3

[1HuskerDad]

Subtle difference for me between what year 1 of Frost and year 1 of Rhule;

Year 1 of Frost it felt very about the individual players. Gebbia, POB and Adrian battling. Who’s going to be the duck-r, etc.

This go around I find myself not giving a shit about individual performers at all, it feels very much like the focus is on the program as a whole.

Not sure if that’s just me personally or a difference in leadership.

That's a pretty good clip. I loved seeing him call E Johnson back to run it again. I also loved that Rahmir showed him how to do it properly.

Small thing, but I love how they correct in the moment. If you wait to correct mistakes after watching practice tape you lose the intensity of the moment to teach and for information to stick. I hated that about frosts staff and always wondered if that was part of the problem.

part of correcting a problem is identifying that there is a problem. coaching & development is ALL in the details.

 

[MtnHusker]

I'm impressed. The coaches have a real attention to detail plus appear to be very good communicators. Felt like they have a well thought out process. Love seeing them not only correct or coach the players after a drill but also praise them when done properly. Seems like every player is held to the same standard whether they are a Starter or Walk On.

Nebraska Spring Practice Observations: Defense​

The Huskers hit the practice fields at Hawks Championship Center for spring practice No. 3 Thursday morning.
The first 40 or so minutes were open for the media to view, and there was a lot to take in. Here are some quick observations before the post-practice press conferences with offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield and defensive coordinator Tony White, along with 2-3 players:
>> There’s a metal post with a football stuck on it just before entering the practice fields. Players and coaches take turns whacking the ball before entering the doors. Strength coach Corey Campbell might have hit it the hardest out of everyone upon entering.
>> Cornerback Tommi Hill, sporting No. 31 on his jersey, was seen padded up and practicing with his teammates. Hill missed the first practice of the season due to a suspension.
>> The players in yellow jerseys who were not competing due to injuries include quarterbacks Casey Thompson and Logan Smothers, safety Marques Buford Jr., defensive linemen Blaise Gunnerson (who was wearing a boot on his left foot) and Ty Robinson, as well as walk-on Barron Miles Jr. There may have been more players in yellow, but those are the confirmed ones from Thursday.
>> The players in green, which included all quarterbacks plus the players who are limited and coming off injury, included offensive tackle Teddy Prochazka, defensive lineman Brodie Tagaloa (brace on his right elbow), Javin Wright and Dwight Bootle II. Like the yellow jerseys, there may have been more that I didn’t catch.
>> During a defensive line drill where the players were working on their explosion off the line of scrimmage and curling around a bucket before violently clubbing what was supposed to be the quarterback’s throwing arm, White was heard yelling, “Get the damn ball, get the damn ball!” Defensive line coach Terrance Knighton was yelling, “Violent! Stay tight!”
>> During a form tackle drill that defensive backs coach Evan Cooper was running, which featured DBs and linebackers, Cooper really enjoyed a rep from third-year walk-on Michael Booker III, a walk-on from Texas. Booker violently hit his rep partner, kept his eyes up (which Cooper had been yelling to everyone after every turn) and brought his arms. Cooper yelled at Booker to stop after the rep, and Booker looked as if he thought he had done something wrong. Cooper just wanted to dap up Booker and tell him that was an “excellent” rep.
>> Linebacker Garrett Snodgrass had a solid rep in Cooper’s form tackle drill as well, and the coach responded by saying, “That a way, Snodie!”
>> Knighton was showing the correct way to hit the sled with interior D-linemen Stephon Wynn Jr., Ru’Quan Buckley and Nash Hutmacher.
>> Georgia transfer linebacker MJ Sherman is listed at 6-foot-3 and 250 pounds, and looks the part. He got a “Not bad, keep your eyes up!” from Cooper after one form tackle rep with walk-on John Bullock.
>> Safeties DeShon Singleton and Myles Farmer were leading the form-tackle group with Cooper. Both players were engaged and violently striking during their reps.
>> Cooper wanted Wynn to re-do his rep in the form-tackle drill. Cooper wanted to see a better and more under-control footwork from the big 6-3, 305-pounder.
>> Florida transfer safety Corey Collier, a former five-star prospect in the 2021 class, impressed Cooper with one of his reps during the form-tackle drill. Cooper was heard yelling, “Yeah, that’s it! Good job, Corey.”
>> Florida transfer linebacker Chief Borders was first in line for many of the drills he took part in.
>> LSU and Georgia transfer tight end Arik Gilbert has already seemed to establish himself on special teams. He was seen Thursday as the middle man on the punt shield. He was calling out coverages and was the leader of the punting unit. While there were multiple combinations of the punt shield, Gilbert was with fellow tight ends A.J. Rollins and walk-on John Goodwin.
>> Wynn figures to be a big part on the defensive line come the fall. However, he was also seen anchoring the field goal block unit as the big man next to the long snapper to clog up the middle.

“Get the damn ball, get the damn ball!”

Can we get another reaction for this? @HuskerGarrett @God is a Husker

Coach Coop "If you don't hit with your eyes up you are afraid of contact & nobody on Nebraska's defense is afraid of contact". We have a coach who really understands Psychology right there. Great way to motivate them to keep their eyes up.

I used to know an old coach that won title after title in high school. He would make the team run the same play over and over until he liked it. Sometimes until 9 pm

Fuckin accountability right there, loved it
