That was for cutting across the middle, I thought. But izzy, we certainly DO have "those types" of receivers. Randle, Beckham and Peterson for sure.
I've been saying this forever. Shep was averaging 7yds/carry as a freshman when it was extremely obvious what he was going to do.
Could be. Or, maybe the defense, or special teams, or coaching or even a great performance by the opponent. Damn. So much to worry about.
True, many WR coaches try things. I was at a college practice the other day with the WR'ers, catching tennis balls at close range shot out of the machine(Hand/eye). Some coaches use filled gloves to make the receiver use his fingers. So many things are used, but a player has to have the want to make the play.
One also has to remembered, the ball is often times thrown such that the receiver can reach it but defender can't ..... like off to back side or on the back shoulder, etc. Hence, it becomes the receivers job to haul it in.
I agree. I don't like those high passes; easy for the receiver to tip the ball and therefore making it easy for the defense to get an INT. My questions are: was Lee made to make the passes high in practice? or was it the wind in the Kentucky game a factor in making the ball sail a bit? I pray that coach Krag can correct Lee on that.
Lee's passes were sometime hard for a receiver to make a catch, but impossible for a defender to make one. Lee has learned from his freshman year to make it harder for a defender to get to the ball. The receivers must step up.
