He has to learn to instinctively catch the wide open passes in the same way he catches the covered ones. More solo work with Cam(or another Qb) running routes in the summer, more reps at the ball machine, etc should fix it. Once he starts grabbing them it should work itself out. Till then, at this point in the season there are no excuses, its a weakness. But he picked the right game to get the last of it out temporarily and play possessed for the rest of our season. At least he has that ability.

Kelvin needs to move in with Ricky Proehl and stick to him like glue after the season.

 

I think he will be fine. The talent and desire is there.

 

People forget the circumstances we put him in, there has been a lot on his shoulders as a rookie. Give him time.

He catches the hard passes and misses the easy ones...............any receivers coach knows that is a lack of concentration on the easy catches because he's thinking where he wants to go before he has the ball secure.......

 

There is a simple solution to that problem.........practice drills where he says out loud every time he catches a routine pass in practice "lace" .....or "leather"....before he is allowed to look to where he is going to run..........what I mean by that is that he has to look the ball into his hands securely and literally sees the grain of the leather on the ball or the lace stitching before he is allowed to turn his head and look where he wants to run.......

 

and the first time you miss saying that in practice the receivers coach takes him after practice (no joke here) and makes him write on the play board "I will not look to where I run until I see the leather grain or lace of the football secured in my hands first"..........100 times on the play board...

 

Trust me that will take care of his easy catch problem.........its never failed me with my players...........

 

Another key...........an old guitar players trick.....................have every receiver do a spider crawl with each hand on a broom stick up and down.......the coordination and sensitivity of the fingers is hugely improved to the point where a person's fingers are like octopus sponges..........some guitar players know the secret of that exercise.................grab a broom stick with one hand and crawl it up and down by only using the tips of your fingers...........makes them strong, cooridinated and sensitive to touch. Exactly what all receivers need.

 

I got to where I could do that with a 10lb weight on the broom stick and do the exercise......did it three times each day for each hand and my ablity to catch or grasp something is uncanny.....

This is why you aren't a coach. If he was a seasoned vet, absolutely. But you can't expect a rookie, someone you are trying to teach, to learn anything from sitting on the bench and then expect him to somehow be magically proficient later.

 

 

Fans are easy on him because he's a rookie but I refuse to give him a break. The point is NOT to baby Benjamin. I would have benched today. Poor fugging effort. I'm tired of hearing excuses.
