Wide Receiver Tips

Out with the old football playing and in with the new! This is the "now" time not the "old" time of the NFL, so there are going to be newer techniques added in the NFL.

Oh, I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself! I'm Christian A and welcome to Nothing But Yards where everything here on this blog is all about football!! Today's tip is on the WR group (wide receiver). When at the line of scrimmage you always keep your head up when you go deep and look at the QB when you know you are open. Don't just wave your hand just because you want the ball and you think your open when your not. Back on track, chop your hands back and forth to gain more momentum to build your speed up. Like running track at the Olympics you do the same thing while sprinting. So here are the steps:

1) Keep your head up at the line of scrimmage and keep your mind set on the word "Hike".
2) When you hear this noise you keep your feet moving and run your route just as precise as you see it on the drawing board.
3) Remember to keep chopping and keep those feet moving.
4) Once you are truly open or see a mis-match you wave your hand and look at your QB.
5) If you are open and receive your intended pass you will be a consistant target for your QB and your defenders will set a spotlight on you if they know you are a dangerous WR.

This was Christian A and you just got some new tips on how to play my favorite game of football! See you next time!
