They have an advantage over us because most of us are pretty short. That's why we practice every day playing the eyes, playing the hands and not looking back for the ball so we can overcome our disadvantages.Read the full article.
So, there you have it: the defense really is training to NOT look at the ball.
Now I'm sure that in coaching world there is some logic to this; I can't think of it right now, but there must be some logic to it. Maybe it's like James Bond, where you can just see the ball reflecting off of the receivers' eyes? I somehow doubt it.
It may help overcome the 'size' disadvantage, but it does nothing to help the scoring disadvantage. To me logic dictates that if you're not looking for that ball then you are giving your brain extra (an unneccessary) information to process, and the first time you see the ball will be when the receiver has control of it; that means you give up yards. I think that's a bad thing, but I could be wrong about that.
Omar Clayton is an effective quarterback and, despite some coaching setbacks that we up here know NOTHING about, Nevada Southern is looking pretty solid this year. This could be a long afternoon.
Coach Aults secret to winning has always been the heart and character of the "Nevada Player"
ReplyDeleteWhere did that go? When I see the reactions of
tacklers, showboating after giving up first downs. Receivers faking injury after dropping
passes or talking trash instead of getting back
to the line,it's clear where improvment's needed.
Hey Coach, do you want to improve? Fire # 4.
Well put! I'll try to have a reply to that to-nite.
