It can hurt if there are injuries.
We disagree on this one jetpilot.
Spring practice is overrated and the adjustment won't be that great if the "new" coach is one they are already familiar with.
Hmmmm???

Injuries are part of the game...they come with the territory and occur in every sport not making exceptions for anyone. Spring football is a great tool IMO to help the younger kids more than the older players. When I was in college, we actually accomplished more during our spring football practices than during the regular season because everyone was out there giving it their all to try and earn a spot. When August came around, those who shined during those 3 weeks were really the only ones that got a fair shake.

However, I think the spring drills allows for time to fine tune some things so you will be ahead of the game when July 15th comes around.
