The drops need to stop

I wonder if they stopped doing the drills that Joe Brady brought with him?

quote:

---

On each wide receiver catching 10,000 passes in the offseason

Joseph: "Yes. We already started. They got close to 10,000, but we want them to hit that goal. We got them when spring football started. So they are doing that right now. Another thing we did, every drill ended in a catch. You always caught the ball. We made the ball a priority. We didn’t beat them up about it. If they dropped it, Joe (Burrow) went back to them on the next play. Usually what happens with how Steve called it, if you dropped it, Steve is coming right back to you. He has the mind of a quarterback, so if you drop it, I am coming right back to you. Joe worked the same way. They just worked on it."

This is exactly what I was thinking. I hear they were kinda crazy and exhausting bc they took a lot of time doing the same thing over and over but man those are differences between extending a drive bailing out your qb in a 50/50 ball when he is under pressure and lining up inpunt formation when defense is still gassed and needs a breather. Just upsetting is all

I think all of that has stopped based on the 1st 2 games.

That link is from April.

Not sure Linehan pushed the 10K reps and other drills the way Brady did. Doesn't look like it, anyway.

COVID issues may have also gotten in the way

They lost a bit of practice time with COVID
