Concerning our receivers getting separation...
Posted on 9/17/18 at 3:01 pm
Posted on 9/17/18 at 3:01 pm
Coming from an old lineman, is this something that can be coached into our receivers or is this a talent thing? My thinking is this is something they have to develop as they are not used to a DB being able to hang with them like they can at this level. Thought I would get some of the Rant coaches to help me out here!

Can’t get separation when you get held every time you go out for a pass.

I think it’s partially a strength thing, but our receivers were being held quite a bit

Auburn's DBs had some of the worst technique I've ever seen. Not just holding, but bear hugging on some occasions.

What is sad is that the Auburn DBs has been doing this same shite for over a decade. They do that crap at home because 9 out of 10 times they know they can get away with it.

We had open guys vs Miami all day.
It was a lackluster effort by everyone vs SLU.
Auburn DBs held everywhere.

I'd like to see them add in more back shoulder stuff
Very hard to cover the back shoulder throw to big tall receivers outside the numbers

It must have been instinctive for Josh Reed. He was a running back but could always get open and make the first man miss then drag the next one five yards before went down.
It can be learned. Our guys have little experience of actual game time, except No 7. How many game opportunities have they had in their careers. Jefferson seems to be the most efficient because he and Burrow spent a lot of off season time practicing.

I'd add that the route tree has been to deep. Need shorten the route tree and add more combo routes. More Hi / low routes and crossing routes, Defense will be forced to roll the coverage. If they don't the DB in man will lose coverage. Reason is too may teams man up on LSU bc of bad passing game.

Yeah like everyone has said, Auburns DBs were holding everywhere
And, we also used our bigger WRs vs them. Harder to get separation at the LOS when you’re 6’5, 220lbs or bigger like Sullivan and Anderson.

Same here
He’s so talented and always seems to make plays when he gets an opportunity.

LOL, as an old lineman myself I've always saw it as the same thing as an OT facing a quick DE, just over a much narrower front.
The first move by both probably decides the final result.
Much technique involved, which shoulder are they over, head-over, first step, etc.
Basically, much like a DE, if that WR gets the position on the DB, he's off and running (barring holding). If that first step gets you on the hip, or the DB turned at the wrong angle- you won.
For the DB, if you can stay square and impede- you won. If he's hand fighting and the feet aren't going anywhere- you won.
Remember, contact is allowed as long as A) in front of receiver and B) not in air.
So your separation in college has to be pretty good, and especially where they can't get to your front otherwise they just keep jamming you. That's why staying square is so important.
All this screams technique with strength only enhancing the effectiveness of the technique.

The Referrees at Auburn have been especially awful each time I go there. About 10 times in the last 30 years. Officiating at Auburn is worse than the officiating in Tuscaloosa. You have to beat Bama by two touchdowns in Tuscaloosa to actually win on a last second field goal. Way too many homer calls in T Town.

Jefferson seems to get a lot of separation.
