It’s not Fangio’s gray sweats, top and bottom, we’re talking about. It’s the players’ jerseys. They weren’t practicing in practice jerseys. They were practicing in game jerseys.
By design, of course.
“The whole reason we do that is to cut down on the grabbing," said Fangio, a head coach at 60 for the first time in his life. “When you wear the loose shirts, it’s very easy—almost unavoidable—for the players to grab each other when they’re going against each other. Whether it be wide outs, DBs, the interior linemen, it’s just so easy to grab those loose jerseys. It’s not easy to grab in-game because they’re tight. So we want to make it game-like as much as we can. That’s why we practice with them."
