Yeah. I heard they weren't even leaving the meeting rooms for practice. It's all film study and whiteboards.
When was the last time the OL looked "alpha"? It's been a while.

I believe the 2011 collective bargaining agreement limited full-contact practice to 14 times per year during the season and virtually eliminated contact during mini-camps.
During the week is the only time they get a chance to hit. Lord knows they aren't on Saturdays
This is misleading.
the actual quote:
No doubt they were tough practices. But it was a "fair share" of contact not 4 hour of contact.
Hyperbole much? Nobody ever said NU should be, or even that Harbaugh was, hitting for 4 hours.

Quite a few passes hit...the ground.
I made the mistake of trusting the OP's opening line.
Oh, I see you corrected yourself.
Corrected the op
Yep, right now is not a good time for us to be going this route. Middle of season and far too beat up.
However, one of Nebraska's huge advantages is the walk-on program and overall size of our roster. Unlike the NFL and most college teams our roster is huge. In a perfect world we should have the depth to practice more physically than most teams.
There were some interesting comments by Pat Fitzgerald a couple days ago about their emphasis this off-season in getting more guys involved early and building depth. Injuries had really killed them in years past so they made it a point to do a better job of getting the next guy ready to play before the injury happened. This emphasis was based on research and conversations with Jim Tressel.
Guess the point is do you practice less physical to keep guys healthy or more physical to help get more guys ready to play? Hard for young players to get up to speed if they're not going live in practice, pretty much have to wait until the injury happens and then thrown them in the fire.

I had the privilege of being in the same room with TO and it was a small crowed so we could chat. One of the things that stood out to me was when he said during the championships runs they had enough depth and practice teams players they could run two full offensive practices and two full defensive practices. Basically it was playing a real football game with enough players to play both sides of the ball it just did not have refs.
Not sure if we do that now, but it does seems to be one of the difference makers then.

Oddly, we didn't seem to have the amount of injuries we have now either.
We need to model Junction Boys practice.
