Strength & Conditioning

[Jax Cane]

Seems to me that since Lazy Swasey departed this team's strength and conditioning has seen a remarkable improvement. No bye week and no real sign of a let down. We seem to get stronger in the 4th quarter? How can this be? I mean Swasey was a god?

For the life of me I don't understand why former players raved on the guy. It is so obvious our S&C is light years ahead of what it was every year Swasey was here.

Gents, the flies left a long time ago

This is so true... I will tell you however, our boys are feeling it lately. NINE weeks and NO breaks while having to run the table ain't freakin easy... these coaches have turned these kids are strait up bad assess. They got all my respect!!!

I never understood it either. Those guys could've been coached by an Albertson's cashier and they would've sworn by him too. They were all motivated self-starters so they gave credit as a token appreciation.

Let's give some props to S&C, but lets also give some major credit to the change in mental toughness we've displayed. How many of those close games in the past would we have blown because of costly mental lapses late in games? False starts, missed blocks, bad reads, etc. We go late into games playing and believing that we're the better team.

I believe Victor Ishmael is now our S&C coach. From his bio it looks like he's been here a very long time (16 years) which I think suggests he got promoted up from within...interesting.

I seem to recall a lot of discussions the past 4-5 years over the S&C program and now very quietly we are looking the part again. I remember watching Clemson and Alabama 2 years ago and thinking our guys could never match up to those guys...our guys look tiny compared to those guys. I think this is another sign of why we are back.

Props Victor and his team...can I get a Dilly Dilly

I still question our strength department. It could be talent but I see seniors and juniors getting pushed backwards vs low level teams. It is infuriating. I just don't see us impose our will on a consistent basis.

Gauthier gets blown up on short yardage often. Need to get that young man some double team help

He may be doing a good job, but is he not working at the direction of Felder? He was here during the down time, the turnaround is not indicative of him, more so his director's change in philosophy, right?

All the strength in the world doesn't teach you technique.

Coaches teach technique. Players hone technique.

What Juniors and Seniors do you see getting pushed back and against what team did said offense occur?

winning cures all

Travis Homer plays special teams and in the 4th qtr vs UVA, he was still running tough AF while having enough in the tank to show elite breakaway speed for the TD that sealed it.

they got no push vs Cuse, UNC, UVa (Barely), and FSU. "FSU?!" FSU gives up 150 on the ground and we only mustard 83 yards rushing.

Props to Gus for helping us turn the corner in the weight room. We no longer look like HS kids out there, and we're unfazed in the 4th Q. I recently read about the Sunday gassers we have now and smiled. Life is good.

Jury is still out. We still don't get the push upfront and we still look small.

We look "small" because our guys aren't fat.

Only CIS morons, guys who don't eve know GUS FELDER is the S&C coach, find a way to be negative now.

We're undefeated and our team is in great shape. We wear other teams down the 4th quarter results show that

 

[SFbayCane]

The fact that we win games in the fourth quarter tells me something very positive about the teams conditioning.

The philosophy now is speed/quickness over size/strength. Look at the DL play vs ND to see why. Al valued size and strength, so yes we should look smaller now by design.

Sorry If I goofed that one up but the UM website had this listed

Who was the ****head on here saying the teams S&C is bad because all the players don’t have six packs?
