Can anyone explain this wide receiver drill?

I'd probably have to see more than just that pic to say for certain.

Our old receiver coach used to have guys catch bricks.  It was literally "If you can catch a brick, you can catch a ball."

Jerry Rice father was a brick mason....just saying

And legend says that's how he learned to catch.

True? No idea.

​Sounds like your coach studied Jerry Rice. The use of bricks to work a receiver is done to control their focus. You throw them a ball and they can easily take their eyes off it. You throw them a brick and you guarantee their eyes and hands will be working together. If this drill is used, it is typically the first drill for the receivers.

As for the broom drill, it is meant to release off the line quickly and can be used with a chicken wing or stemming technique. You must release off the line and get by the DB without touching the DB with the end of the broom. So, the broom must be vertical when passing the DB. If used with a chicken wing a big receiver can get his body weight into the DB while turning his chest to the ball and back to the DB.  This allows for a transfer of weight to work and push off the DB without any arm extension.

Some of these ideas seems spot on, yet i cant help but wonder....dont we have just simple plain wooden poles, or otherwise plastic...or something else other than an actual fuggin broom to do the drill with?

 

The fact it is a real broom suggest that either (a) It was suddenly thought up...(b) we dont have the proper equipment to run the drills, or (c) and my personal favorite, the bristle action of a real broom does something or has an effect we dont know about yet~

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
