Anyone want to link the article? Thread blows.


The reason for no link, the article is in BR's The Advocate newspaper this morning, but hasn't been posted online yet, it''ll be there tomorrow. You can read the full article then. That has been the BR paper's routine. Learn to have some patience.

our DBs dropped something like 20 INTs last season. As a result, we did not force a lot of turnovers, which is conducive to scoring more points and winning football games (see the 2011 season). Coaches know they are going to drop balls, but not focusing on that issue and just dismissing it as "well, it happens" doesn't really get the message across to the players that they should be expected to catch every ball they get their hands on.

If any of you were athletes you would know the pushups after a drop is bullshite and a decent athlete realizes their mistake without that garbage pledge bullshite.

and if you were an athlete, you were know this type of "punishment" is pretty fricking standard from middle school football through the NFL.

Are you kidding me with this?

Some people can obviously have better hands than others, but it absolutely CAN be a lack of focus.

Shouldn't they do something that works on hand strength if the point is to not drop the ball?


Not necessarily. Sometimes punitive punishment can be corrective.

The next question is, which QB threw so many balls that should have been picked?

You really don’t want to know the answer to that go you. You will be very disappointed.

Battle wasn’t willing to throw any LSU QB’s under the bus, but some fans are itching to.

The only real question here is which QBs threw the passes that should have been intercepted
