Harbaugh has stated that he likes to keep the players a bit off balance so they get use to expecting the unexpected. I can't see anything wrong with it as they are always in full pads when full contact is called.
Keeps the attention level up and limits the hitting overall. Many coaches have hitting the entire practice which would seem to be more detrimental to health. Would you rather have the return of the nutcracker?
Thats not how Harbaugh does it. When one of our Wr's are going across the middle he yells " live practice" and the guy gets ruined. Probably what happened to Crabtree.
pssh...Crabtree doesn't practice.
