That plus one is earned from the headline alone. BV is bringing such good news today!

How many days in the first week are helmet and shorts?

Usually they go shorts for most of the 1st week.  This timeframe should allow for some full contact practices.  It's a huge step forward from what we have seen in the past.

Isn't it normally dictated by the number of practices before moving into pads?

Probably, but just historically speaking that number seems to equate to about a week.  New regime so it certainly could be different.

Believe that there's a required "acclamation period", where they are required to go shorts and helmets for a few days. Then graduate to shoulder pads and shorts and ultimately full pads.

I would doubt we'd see too many full contact practices with this camp with such poor depth. Just simply cannot afford injuries.

I think I am going to head up to Denton this upcoming Saturday and check out the practice.
