back in the day when huddles were used a WR could say "Sam I would have been wide open if I went deep,look for me" but we don't talk in huddles no more because we don't have huddles. Do y'all miss huddles?
Also I have noticed that receivers don't bother to get the DB off balance or make the DB think he's going one way then suddenly cuts back the other way. It's like trying to confuse a DB doesn't exist anymore. Then they wonder why they can't get separation. It's like we run these predictable vanilla routes. Well how bout using false body language. Duvernay did an out and up that was two cuts and was wide open. Getting separation is crucial. Then maybe Sam or Shane doesn't have to run so much. Yea confusing DBs with false body language is a lost art. One play I like is when a wide receiver Sprint's down field straight down field and then all the sudden plants his feet turns around maybe comes in a few steps and if the ball is thrown at the right time we have a successful 15 to 20 yard play right there. Then after the catch he steps toward the inside gets the DB who has recovered by then to go that way but cuts back to the outside and goes up field. It's not rocket science. Maybe we do that already but it doesn't seem like it. I can't help it. I have played a lot of football in my life and I always new how to sell a fake and get open, with just average speed.
