Fast practice but slow on game day

Manny always talks about running fast practices. They even have an instrument that measures how fast the practice is. He mentioned this week they had the fastest practice of the year. Admittedly I have no idea what all this means as it translates to game day. However, even an outsider has to wonder why it makes sense to run a super fast practice and then on game day run a lazy slow offense. It sounds like we are trying to be Chip Kelly like during the week and then something totally different on game day. We have to be the slowest offensive system in college right now. ****, we were huddling with 6 minutes left and down 10. These two things don’t make any sense to me. Perhaps this is one of they key reasons the offense can’t perform on game day. What they simulate in practice all week is the complete opposite of what they do on game day.

Should be running all over teams with our stable of backs with an uptempo offense. But Enos is scared to have more then 1 RB get touches. If theres 1 thing i cant stand, its not playing to your advantages. We going to waste ******* Knighton and Chaney too? Only way i see Lingard staying is if we get a new OC.
 
Fast practice my ***. Guy is such a fraud. Employs gimmicks, uses the latest instrumentation to record speed. He looks good on the surface but he has no clue how to translate his analytics into execution.
 
I'm not trying to be funny or facetious here, but when Manny says "our fastest practice" he's referring to the devices on the players that measure how fast they are running during practice. The speed is calculated by individual high marks & then the team as a average. Lorenzo practiced with three deep at RB last week for the first time this season & hit over 21 MPH a few times.
