If "jarring contact" isnt experienced even a little bit in practice....what happens in the games?

All these Rules written to make practice safer but nothing changes how the actual game is played.

Seems odd. I think the NFL is simply protecting their 'investments" for as long as possible. Not a bad thing but Sundays will still be Sunday.

Pretty sure all live contact will be banned shortly for all practices. Welcome to the world of thud.

Ct now limits us to 45 min contact a week....consider that more than 50 percent of my VARSITY has never hit anyone before....

The Oklahoma drill isn’t really all that representative of a game scenario in today’s game anyway.

I've spent the last Decade doing "Close Quarter Drills".  So to, I abhor full contact drills in season. 

5 yards and under  Plenty of Bang for your Buck! 

Not MPP... ONE TASK!  Teach them!  🙂
