Fall Practice (8/5/19) Defensive Coaches & Players Interviews

[skerinks]

Just my two cents. As a receiver, much like an outfielder in baseball, you are taught to run with your arms pumping and not reaching until the last second. First, if the defender is watching your hands he does not know when to strip the ball if you wait and let the ball get to you. Secondly it helps maintain full speed with no wasted motion. Now, facing the qb, if the ball is above your waste you catch the ball with your thumbs pointed in. If the ball is below your waste the thumbs point out. Simple stuff really.

I think they should coach them to always catch the ball behind their backs. It would demoralize the other team.

Glad we are done with that argument....right?

I know of a guy, with this specific special set of skills, that actually has a tie to the team. Sounds like it should be a no brainer to set up the training sessions asap.

Jesus...I was watching one of Keith William's videos with the Cheetah and he pointed out a no no in a drill where Hill caught the ball across his facemask. Does that equate to Hill not being taught the right things? No. I'm sure that body catch was Noa being a little lazy, which is something I see at every level from time to time. And who knows if he didnt get an earful after that catch???? This friggin season cant come soon enough.

Nickname "Westy?"

Never mind the arm catch. AM threw the ball slightly side arm. I can't see us winning more than 3 games.

Basically a one-in-six chance to win the West? I'm not sure if I'm ready to call Nebraska the West favorite, but with key intradivision games at home this season I think our chances are much better than 16.7%.
