Hafley's new practice philosophy: ditching 7-on-7s

Hafley's new practice philosophy: ditching 7-on-7s

Coach Jeff Hafley is reshaping camp with extended scrimmages and a 'three-on, one-off' schedule, eliminating 7-on-7s he calls 'counting Mississippis.' This game-like approach could impact player development and injury management. A sharp departure from McDaniel's precision-focused camps. Practice 2 saw specific highlights: Chop forcing Achane fumble, Chris Johnson on Gordon, and emphasis on 11-on-11 drills.
