re: Does Raymond know that this is against the rules?

Watching Raymond going over how to use your hand the check the receiver coming off the line and the CB having to be told again makes me think something that basic was not effectively communicated to them last season. WTH

I hate to appear to be constantly defending last year's coaches, because they were terrible. But Derek Stingley did not know how to do this when he left LSU. He constantly turned his hips before the receiver, committed, putting himself in a position of defenseless when the receiver crossed over him. Alabama and Florida absolutely abused Stingley that year. The pros trained that out of him his first year.

It seems like an easy concept, but it is extremely difficult to do. There is no time to think. It has to be reflexive.
