How does this team practice under AG? We have only seen snippets of dancing during stretch, etc. Is practice tightly run and effective? Is it intense? Is there teaching happening or just yelling to produce noise?

Does this team practice how it plays? Or is there a disconnect between practice execuation and live bullets?

Its very coordinated, run by the staff and GA....

They cover a lot and different days the cover different things, like special teams...but hey who am I
 
They are standard CFB practices. Organization and desire are not BFA's problems. He has no clue how to game plan and has no feel for the game.

We usually just recreate the Human Centipede with the entire roster and march around the field for an hour.

I have been privileged enough to see practices under Shannon and Golden and I must say it's night and day. I really like how Coach G runs his practices. Theres not a missed beat or moment. They are teaching and keeping these guys moving throughout the practice

Dont take my comment in any way that Im bashing Shannon, I just noticed a difference when I saw this. Also it was only 1 practice that I got to watch both times
 
you can tell they have tried to incorporate the routine of the past.. many short position drill periods ended by airhorn then rotate to another, then eventually rotate into 7 on 7's, 11 on 11's...lots of special team drills ongoing within all this...

On game weeks scout team is incorporated into the mix..our scout teams are horrendous, dont give a very good look IMO, especially at qb...

offensively, our offense this year in practice is a lot like games, Morris throwing A LOT downfield ( a lot of success on greentree)and runs, no real intermediate stuff,,maybe they may want to start doing more third down drills.. they do a lot more field position and time based stuff, than down and distance..

defensively not a lot of contact, honestly was drinking the kool aid when I went, wish I was paying more attention.. I thought the dline was finally starting to look right, especially hoillett(lol), he looked the part, so did figs, denzel, guess not...

Very well organized though and good tempo, they do oklahomas sometimes and the one on one fire off and push thing they do before games..
 
btw dont know if everyone knows this but the fence around greentree is covered with a mesh covering with all the all americans and their years, its phucking impressive, I would be highly inspired to practice there surrounded by all those greats

Night and day from Shannon's country club.


However...

I noticed how every time practice video is leaked that we're doing the same **** drills EVERY DAY.

Probably just a coincidence though.

Yeah it's because they start practice out with the same drills every day, and reporters were only allowed during the frist 15 minutes.
 
I remember going to practice in the late eighties and was quite amazed how violent it was for a practice.Probably why they played ****ed off.
 
Just wonder if the first team offense plays against the first team defense . Seems like in practice the offense and defense is great in reviews. We here from recruits at there visits how well practice is run.
 
The lack of contact in the NFL practices has definitely contributed to a universal defensive falloff.

The lack of contact cannot be helping what is an abysmal defense. I'm not a believer in limited contact as a means of preventative injury.
