How do we have enough players to run a practice if don’t have enough to run a glorified walk through?

From what I've read the injuries have really piled up and scrimmaging has been an issue b/c of the current numbers.

How much of that has to do with the fact that GP has treated past "spring games" as merely a scrimmage? You reap what you sow.
As if our asking would get us any answers. You know full well that GP would have no interest in talking about that and if he did answer, it would be some confusing response about alligators or some other mixed metaphor where we would feel we knew even less than before the question was first asked. And yes I am probably a little salty here due to the apparent Dixon news.
At what point do we ask the question, “What in the world are we doing in practice?” Game injuries are one thing, but these are self inflicted wounds.

big question for the the friends i know who coach is how do you properly teach the game of football without the contact?
how do you team proper tackling and running blocking with out contact?

Purple is not the kind of team White should be playing right now.

The incredible number of injuries incurred by TCU sports teams seems unreasonably
high year after year. Conditioning, training methods or simply bad luck?

Maybe recruiting speed at the expense of size and putting weight on guys to spin down in the formation has negative effects? Who would have guessed that Ty Summer at 255 lbs might be more prone to injury if his body is meant to be 230?
Let the Silly Season begin!

There is more FWPD on site to make sure no one video records practice than officers patrolling the neighborhoods around TCU. All is well

I like the spring game bc every now and then it allows me to catch a TCU football game, TCU baseball game, and a Rangers game with my family if everything pans out. It’s something I look forward to.

Well in fairness...We have been the most physical team in the Big 12 since joining..I don’t even think that’s debatable. Hasn’t always translated to Ws but it’s GPs philosophy. Maybe we need to change that

there are certain things you can't teach without actually doing and if you are ct working with your offensive line how do you do that simply by walking people through drills and schemes?
i think there is a big difference in having a number of players banged up where they can't practice effectively after a physical spring and players actually injured.
we won't know which is which with gary so i am not overly concerned about the idea of injury. i also agree with your thought this is as much about gary keeping things behind his purple curtain as he can before the season.
notice the comments about the three quarterbacks over on 247. i do feel sorry for whomever the source was that told clark duggan played well in the last scrimmage and jeremy will probably be questioned over his description of the last play of the scrimmage.
