We did this after week 2 last year. Tuesday and Wednesday - just uppers. Thursday - Full pads w 5-10 live plays. The goal was to each day do a bit more contact so by Friday they were chomping at the bit. We won more games that we ever have. Now, I couldn't tell you if we won because of this or despite this, but I plan to do it again next year. |

Kelly claimed that there was a lot of exercise science behind having less contact in the middle of the week and more at the start and end, but I'm not sure where. It sounds like this was part of that philosophy.

For what it's worth the Eagles under Chip Kelly have the day after games off (Monday) and then have their heaviest practice Tuesday with Wednesday being full go and then "glorified walkthroughs" on Friday and actual walkthroughs on Saturday.
I don't remember exactly what Oregon's practice weeks looks like.

It was in an internal program publication that came out last season. The emphasis was on Full SPEED more than just full gear / full contact. They wanted to build up to Game Day Speed throughout the course of the week. Makes sense.

Here is a blurb from an article on U.O. Strength Coach Jim Radcliffe that appeared in www.duckstopshere.comA Duck strength and conditioning coach for 28 years, he’s such an innovator and an authority that when Chip Kelly was named Oregon head coach, one of the first things he did was ask Radcliffe if there was anything he wanted to change about the way Oregon practiced. Ice baths, Radcliffe said. Get the players in ice baths right after games to speed recovery. Go hard and fast on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, back off on Thursday for recovery, then ramp it up on the Friday run-through, not a slow-paced walk-through the way most teams do. Radcliffe explained the change to John Hunt, then of the Oregonian: If you’re backing off on Friday, you’re really downloading when you want to be your fastest and quickest and strongest and most explosive. We want to be working back up to our peak on Saturdays. |

This makes a lot if sense and makes our Thursday practice more meaningful. Like it a lot.

I would think most football coaches do the heavy two days (Monday and Tuesday) and back off (Wednesday). I agree that getting more out of Thursday would be great.

We use a game situation script on Thursday and we go fast using uppers or shells. We expect thud contact with kids running down the field and hustling. If we do not run around we start the script back over till we do it right.

Really like that idea too.. Full Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday uppers.
Full pad, full speed thud Thursday really sounds good.
