Miami Hurricanes Spring Practice Clips Day 11

It is a top down mentality when coaching a team. Notice at LSU who runs the most violent and physical drill ( Les "I am your Daddy" Miles) an how he you can tell he just loves the violence. Also there is no manufactured jumping around and hooping like we say at UM practices, which is supposed to get the boys hyped up, rather than let them do their thing naturally. I think our players are being shackled somewhat by the staff.

lulz....next time you attend a game...go down to the entrance where the guys come out ( smoke entrance) , they do this drill just before going into the locker room after warm ups...every game!! with 40 of us fans in there that early you can see things like that .... they also do this at practice.

That is simple, Hertoloua has not been coached up yet. Give it some time and he will suck like the rest. It is a process.
 
Or this is more in Line with the OP drill. Now don't get me wrong I love our canes, but the O and D line need a little more pepper in their in cook'n, which drills like this bring out.

I saw UGA doing this drill on espn last year and thought ohhhhh what should be at UM considering UGA runs a 2 gap 3-4 scheme also but their players are reading while trying to reestablish the LOS 2 yds into the backfield on every play.

UGA 3 on 3 drill video link ( ohhh the violence) ( consider we lost our Top two 2014 NT prospects to LSU and UGA)

If Golden adjusted the front 7 scheme to this type of play in pushing the LOS back 2 yds on intial contact I think the defense would play much better, nothing good comes from that bend but don't break philosophy except a slow death.

Go Canes

Holy ******* ****. That drill will separate the wheat from the chaff real quick.

Reminds me of a scene in Friday Night Lights..."Get up Riggins."

Not ONE tackle. 93 came closest.

I think the main thing you are looking for the DT to do in this situation is slow up the running back / force them to change their lane while the linebackers come in for the kill.

Unfortunately, almost every rep saw the OL have their way with the DT and force them wherever they want. And our o-line hasn't exactly been known for its nastiness these past few years.

Almost maddening (and not to beat a dead horse..but..) to think this is by design, since drills are the tools for fundamental development. You see it and start asking yourself is the OL beasting or the DL sucking and hampered by being too upright, & opops there he goes. 93 was lowest & made the only forward movement with (somewhat) controlling the OL guy - yet nobody seemed to even know where the RB was. If you play like you practice, then this is the desired result?
 
You want your D-lineman to get extension, hold his ground and shed the block. It's a plus if he makes the tackle but he should atleast be able to get a grasp on the ball carrier and slow him down significantly. If none of our D-linemen can do that then I don't know how they expect to run an effective 2-gap front.

If Miami can get LSU's juice connection on the phone that might get some more "pepper in their cook'n"

I'd love to see what Bama does to their players in practices, considering most of them are ground to dust by the time they hit the NFL.
