WR's Running Routes

Superchief,

Tks for the information....I will definitely try it....now my wife will have a "Good" reason to bake cookies!

Coach, can you clarify if you mean right foot in this sentence as opposite of left foot or right foot as in the "correct" foot. If it is the right (not left), why?
When I blew the whistle, they had to get their right foot in front of themselves and "sit in a chairText

Tks!

Hey guys I like all of the ideas you guys have, I just have one small problem with a term every one is using "drop your weight, or drop your hips" when coaching receivers I never want to use the word drop. I tell them to "SINK the hips" this keeps the term drop out of our vocab. maybe this is something you will want to use maybe not.

Come out low, stay low at the breaking point! We quit duck walking many years ago because of the unnecessary wear and tear on the knees! Same thing with neck bridges. We build our quads, strengthen our knees in the weight room, not on the field. We use a 4 way neck machine in the weight room and do a special neck stretch on the field prior to dynamic stretch routine to insure the well being of our necks. One of the most important things to teach your receivers is the simple fact that when his QB is releasing the ball ON TIME, his back will still be to the QB. Thus, when he breaks his original stem the ball is already in the air and to be ready!
