yes




Absolutely. Are there fundamentals to catching the football? Are there an array of different catches to be practiced?

You cant just say "See the ball and catch it!"

Are the receivers blocking well as a whole? That should be the question in our "offense".

I understand that he cant go out there and catch it for him, but he should be able to put the WR group in enough practice situations to catch every ball to the best of their ability. IF they still cant catch, you're responsible for recruiting spaz receivers.

Trust me, I get what you're saying. WR's go through catching drills every day (hand placement, above the waist, below the waist, back shoulder throws, and about 20 more). My point is, these are Division 1, SEC WRs and should shoulder some of the blame for dropping a ball. For example, Dural against Eastern Michigan (I believe) ran a wide open curl, Harris puts it between his numbers, and he flat out dropped it. I'm not going to sit here and blame the coach for that.

I guess what I'm saying is, if the WR is using everything he's coached, ie proper hand placement, and he still drops it for whatever reason, then that's on him.

ball can't catch it for them but the WR's have been hot and cold all year and are seldom being AGGRESSIVE going up and getting the ball. sure it happens sometimes but they have a lot of mental errors it seems like.

it's on ball to coach them up and put them in a position to succeed. he picks who he has out there running routes.
