Did anyone hear that he said we went from running 80 plays in practice to 20 plays this week?

i assume he is talking about different plays and not reps. This would have to help execution big time. I also liked how he discussed using passing game to open up running game. I am very excited to see the offense Saturday

What practice 80 when you run 5 in the game?

He has only had a week. I wouldn't expect more than a few tweaks.

It's widely known that Cam and Les practiced every play under the sun at practice but come game time they would stick to only a handful of plays. Hence why LSU's offense looked the way it did.

Let's hope so.

20 is too few, IMO. 80 is too many.

I think the only real concern... maybe concern isn't the right word, more like something to watch out for... is new plays coupled with his want to limit on-field practice and more film study. There's obvious potential issues there, especially with zone blocking schemes and if Pocic continues to move around (It's a pretty good assumption he's calling the OL assignments).

However, it may also be a pretty good assumption that these plays are not new to practice, just games.

He said they ran about 30 plays in practice Wednesday instead of the typical 80...and yes, he's talking about reps, not different plays. Focus is more on staying fresh vs. grueling practices a few days before the game

he talked a lot last night about shortening practice on the field and more in the meeting rooms. Something he learned from Pete Carrol and Jimmie Hohnson.

He also talked about the plan each week it that each day is a theme. Monday is Truth day. Work on mistakes from past game. I did not catch the remaining days themes.

I was surprised last night in other discussions that some Tiger pundits who are local to the program described Miles as a dinosaur for practice regimen. He tended to grind out and overrun practices and tended to burn out the players and coaches which some contribute his tendency for late season swoons.

This thread is pretty screwed up. He was talking about reps (not number of different plays) and trying to keep them fresh for Satuday.
