WR's - 10,000 off-season reps on the Jugs machine MINIMUM

OSU's WR's committed to 10,000 reps on the off-season last year. Their improvement was impressive.
One of the all-time "great hands" WR's was NFL HOF Raymond Berry. He did 100 reps EVERY day during his 14 year career (in-season and off-season). That's 36,500 reps a year. Jerry Rice had a similar personal practice routine.
LSU has strong athletes at WR. No excuse for their D-minus catching "skills".

Nah we just need Sullivan to yell at them about footwork some more.

If they want to be great that's the commitment it will take.

70 year old WR coach ain't got time for that.

The coach can go home and take a nap. WR Jugs reps are 100% on the player's own initiative. The kids they're competing against for NFL slots are sure as hell working it in the off-season.

And the Jugs machine isn't required. Berry had team mates, neighbors, and even his wife throw to him.
He had about 12 different catches identified - high and above, high and behind, low and behind, basket low, basket over-the-shoulder, etc. Did about 8 of each.
The daily routine took less than 20 minutes. He has a couple of books on it.
Here's one of his books on eBay - $3.99 and free shipping

OBJ and Juice used to do that amount on each hand... on Tuesday.
I kid, but they were obsessed at perfection and it paid off.

I was at a wedding this Saturday and wasn’t able to see the game. I saw burrow only had I believe 8 incompletions. Who dropped balls?

Berry would also constantly squeeze Silly Putty. He kept some with him akl the time and would alternate hands.

Jefferson dropped 2 cream puffs, Sullivan dropped 1. There were a couple others - (JJ's endzone miss was a great effort, and not a drop at all, IMO)

Can we get the jugs machine to wobble em
Posted on 11/18/18 at 4:24 pm to Buckeye Jeaux
Dropped balls are usually a mental thing, lack of concentration thru the catch, etc. Not getting open is a footwork thing, which they did well last game.

Lotta WR's don't mind some wobble. Easier to see the ball in some conditions.

That's fair to some extent. But some say the different catches are like playing different chords on a guitar or piano - they can seem impossible til you practice them a few thousand times - then they're easy as pie.

It's a nice idea. The reality is that level of commitment is rare in players. If they had that in them guess what, they wouldn't have stone hands in the first place.
If it's not in the players, that level of commitment has to be instilled by the coaching staff through culture. And it's not just about the WRs. That standard has to be expected of the QB, the OL, the RBs, everyone.
Can't just say "hey WRs, you sucked this season so you have to do JUGS reps until your hands fall off. But DBs, you're ok, go on vacation." Doesn't work like that.
The team culture has to be such that going the extra mile is the norm. And that starts with the HC, Orgeron.

My best guess from looking at game performance would be 500 to 1000 max. Should get close to that many reps in a week

Agree that commitment is team wide - seems like the D already has it.
And 100 reps a day won't cause a WR's hands to fall off - if anything, it will make them much stronger.

True they may be easy as pie to catch physically. Been there done that. The mental part is sometimes hard to beat, but the good ones will. You remember when,I think it was Bowie?, that was attempting to catch a long sideline throw and actually went thru the motion of catching it and actually threw the ball straight up? - That was a nervous nelly attempt with stiff hands.....but he overcame it.

It is POOR coaching.
