Jeff Thomas dehydrated

[Tony Perps]

CMR said he overexerted himself on consecutive plays early on, and the heat caught up to him.
My question is --****, we're in Miami in September. Above all else, we should be some hydrated ******** when we step on that field. More than anyone else.

I get that CMR wanted to save him for future games and he wasn't "needed" in the 2nd half. But ****, dude is trying to build some draft stock and catch some eyes. Turn em loose for a few more series. He could've got an IV in the locker room. I can only imagine the damage that would've been dealt had he and #5 hooked up for a few skinny posts.

It’s amazing that posts like this are real

how many players run for over 200 all purpose yards in a half quarter of play? If you take away the lame penalties he was killing it

Possible...but all the recievers run a lot of yards even if the don’t get the ball....right?

Sucked that he got that Punt Return TD taken away. That dude that got slightly held had no chance of catching him. He blew by that cat before he even knew he was there.

I used to do MMA quite a bit and no amount of practice prepares you for the exhaustion of a real fight.. When your adrenaline is going through the roof your body wears down at an unbelievable rate. That's why you see pro fighters gassed after 2-3 minutes when there is a lot of immediate action.

Short week and it was FIU. No reason to push it.

Speaking of Felders program, what does he do for speed and explosiveness?

A lot of Olympic lifting and focusing more on 3-5 reps explosively rather than max outs. A lot of single leg work as well. Sleds/prowlers, not sure what else they’re doing since I left

I can see the difference we used to look small against some teams. Now we look like an SEC program.

I don’t necessarily agree with all of their philosophies, but the workouts are certainly no joke now. There’s no down time, constantly doing something and being pushed.

I was a wrestler and can attest to this. No matter how much conditioning you do, it's hard to simulate the live action environment. You literally practice and train for hours but are completely gassed to the point of exhaustion after a 6 minute match.

Cool. That’s exactly what I wanted to know. Was curious about plyometrics, jumps (for height, etc) but also balance training.

Yes I forgot to add those in. Box jumps both double and single leg, jumping over hurdles and sticking landing, bosu ball balancing etc

 

[apfenny3]

I know there are not a lot of hills in South Florida, but any hill/incline training? (Can utilize the ramps of parking decks, etc)

Nope. Something that I personally like a lot and did back home on my own. I think there’s a hill near tropical park that some guys would go to on their own

 

[bobbydigius]

have people not paid attention to the fact that there have been players that have died in practice from dehydration? You don’t take that chance period, let alone against FIU. Dehydration is no joke and the coaches did the right thing in that situation.

I can't gripe about the coaching or S&C program. I think its been night and day from the past.

He could have been fasting during the week for a new QB...

 

[Geddy Lee]

Maybe JT4 is the best **** player on our team and he was up all night with Pee Wee Allen ****** b-itches and drinking on Nevin's impounded yacht.

I wouldn’t mention Nevin’s name on here...

My bad fam. Me and Jeff hit up a shady Mexican spot Friday night for enchiladas and tequila. Didn't realize he'd get drunk AND get Montezuma's revenge. I promise we'll stick to light beer next time.

What philosophies do you not agree with? Serious, curious question...not trying to pick at you. Thanks.

Y’all must’ve went all the way to Mexico.

It was the imported water

Makes sense. I’m sure they were overly cautious and rightfully so.
As many have pointed out not need to risk it.

Hill training can get work to the psoas in ways that many of the lifts just won’t.

As for the non-stop nature: Too much conditioning training can affect explosiveness. (Not saying that Felders doing too much or too little because I don’t know what he does, that’s why I asked)

you sound well versed on this stuff, are you a s&c coach by chance?
